Asbestos removal can be dangerous and requires a specific skill set to carry out the job safely and effectively.
Licensed asbestos removal jobs are high-risk and often involve processes such as removing roofing and insulation. During these removals, it’s difficult to maintain a safe level of fibres that is below the control limit and therefore requires a team who are experienced in working with asbestos for extended periods of time.
Our licensed staff have in-depth knowledge of asbestos regulations and notify the HSE in order to carry out safe and reliable asbestos removal. Our expertise in removal management allows us to deliver these services efficiently and to a high standard, taking care of any asbestos hazards in your building.
Non-licensed asbestos removal jobs are lower risk and allow contractors to work without a license on specific removals.
The licensing of asbestos removal depends on the level of risk attached to the job, and in some cases, where risk is minimal, contractors can work on removal without a license. This type of work involves lower exposure to fibres for shorter periods of time during non-continuous maintenance tasks, such as removing asbestos cement, vinyl flooring, or textured coatings.
Although these removal jobs don’t require contractors to hold a license, they still require professional training to ensure the asbestos is removed with minimum disturbance. Our team of experts are experienced in safely detecting and removing any traces of asbestos in order to protect the people in your building from direct or indirect contact with the potentially harmful substance.
Although effective, in some cases asbestos removal isn’t always the safest or most appropriate course of action.
The abatement process allows us to identify and understand the level of risk presented by a specific area, product, or material containing asbestos and make a decision on how best to handle it.
Depending on the risk posed by an asbestos-containing material, encapsulation can often be a more efficient and effective way to protect people from the dangers of asbestos. Our team visit your building to provide encapsulating services using materials such as rigid boards and sheets, spray coatings, or fabric wraps to prevent fibres from escaping and harming those on your property.
Once the removal of asbestos is complete it is important that waste is correctly disposed of to eliminate further risk.
Henderson Environmental’s premises are a licensed waste transfer station allowing us to appropriately dispose of any asbestos materials in a safe manner. All asbestos waste is hazardous and this includes contaminated building materials, tools, and PPE that cannot be decontaminated after use.
Our waste collection and disposal service takes care of all hazardous waste left as a result of a removal job and ensures that any remaining asbestos-contaminated materials are removed from your building.
