Protecting a proud industrial and coastal legacy

South Tyneside’s landscape reflects its unique history – from Ocean Beach Pleasure Park in South Shields and the iconic Souter Lighthouse overlooking Whitburn’s cliffs, to the terraced streets of Hebburn and Jarrow shaped by shipbuilding and coal mining. Many of these older properties, alongside public buildings and modern commercial spaces, may still contain asbestos.

Making sure that asbestos is properly identified and removed is crucial to the health of residents, employees and visitors. Our licensed specialists provide a trusted, compliant service across the whole borough, from Cleadon to Boldon, safeguarding both people and property.
