Certain types of asbestos, particularly those that are easily crumbled or 'friable' when disturbed, pose a significantly higher health risk. These licensed asbestos materials, which include items like asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, and spray coatings, require specialist handling by an HSE-licensed contractor. Attempting to remove these without the correct training, equipment, and containment procedures can release dangerous fibres into the air, leading to severe health consequences. Asbestos In Homes, operating under our commercial arm BESA PROPERTY SERVICES LTD for larger projects, holds the necessary licensing and expertise to undertake these high-risk removals safely and legally, ensuring full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).

Our approach to licensed asbestos removal in Nottingham is meticulously planned and executed to guarantee safety and efficacy. When you choose Asbestos In Homes, we follow a comprehensive, multi-stage process:

• Detailed Planning: We conduct thorough risk assessments and method statements, outlining every step of the removal.
• Controlled Containment: The work area is rigorously sealed using specialist barriers and negative pressure units to prevent fibre release into other parts of the property.
• Safe Removal: Our highly trained operatives, equipped with advanced personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), meticulously remove the ACMs.
• Continuous Air Monitoring: Throughout the removal, independent UKAS-accredited analysts conduct air monitoring to ensure fibre levels remain safe.
• Thorough Decontamination: Once removed, the area undergoes a meticulous clean-up, followed by further air testing to confirm no residual fibres are present.
• Certified Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, transported in licensed vehicles, and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities, complete with consignment notes.
