Not all asbestos is equal; 'licensable' asbestos presents the highest risk. These materials, often found in older properties throughout Stapleford and Broxtowe, are highly friable, meaning they can easily release dangerous fibres into the air when disturbed. Common examples include asbestos insulation board (AIB), asbestos lagging around pipes and boilers, and some sprayed coatings. Due to the severe health risks associated with inhaling these fibres, their removal is strictly regulated by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and requires specialist contractors like Asbestos In Homes, who hold the necessary licensing and expertise. Attempting to remove these materials yourself is extremely dangerous and illegal.

When dealing with high-risk asbestos in your Stapleford property, our process is meticulous and adheres to the strictest regulations:

• Detailed Assessment: We begin with a thorough survey, identifying and assessing the condition of all licensable ACMs.
• Controlled Containment: A critical step involves establishing a sealed enclosure around the work area, utilising negative pressure units to prevent fibre release and maintain air quality.
• Safe Removal Techniques: Our highly trained and experienced team, equipped with specialised personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), carefully remove the asbestos using HSE-approved methods.
• Air Monitoring & Testing: Throughout the removal, and especially afterwards, independent UKAS-accredited laboratories conduct air testing to ensure the environment is completely clear of asbestos fibres.
• Meticulous Clean-Up: Every surface within the enclosure is thoroughly cleaned using specialist HEPA vacuum cleaners and wet-wiping techniques.
• Certified Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, sealed, and legally transported to licensed hazardous waste disposal sites, with full waste consignment notes provided.
• Four-Stage Clearance: For licensable work, a mandatory four-stage clearance is conducted by an independent analyst, leading to a Reoccupation Certificate, confirming the area is safe for re-entry.
