Why Environmental Cleaning is Critical
After asbestos work has been carried out, proper environmental cleaning is essential to ensure that all dust and fibers are completely removed, leaving your property safe for reoccupation. Our professional cleaning services go beyond standard cleaning to provide comprehensive decontamination.
When Environmental Cleaning is Required
After asbestos removal work has been completed
Following accidental damage to asbestos-containing materials
Before reoccupation of buildings with historic asbestos issues
As part of refurbishment projects in older buildings
When air testing indicates elevated fiber levels

Verification & Documentation
All our cleaning services include visual inspection and optional air testing to verify cleanliness. We provide comprehensive documentation of the cleaning work performed, giving you peace of mind that your property is safe.
Our Cleaning Method
A systematic approach to ensure thorough decontamination of all areas
Initial Assessment
We begin with a detailed assessment of the property to identify all areas requiring cleaning and decontamination. This includes looking for visible dust and potential fiber traps such as carpets, upholstery, and ventilation systems.
Area Preparation
Depending on the level of potential contamination, we may establish containment barriers and negative pressure systems to prevent cross-contamination during the cleaning process. All furniture and belongings are either covered or cleaned as part of the process.
HEPA Vacuum Cleaning
Our team uses specialized vacuums with High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to remove dust and fibers from all surfaces. These filters capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including asbestos fibers.
Wet Wiping & Cleaning
Following HEPA vacuuming, all surfaces are wet wiped using specialized cleaning solutions to capture any remaining dust. This method prevents fibers from becoming airborne during the cleaning process.
Detailed Cleaning
Our team pays special attention to often-overlooked areas such as light fixtures, window tracks, door frames, and ventilation grilles. We may also clean or remove carpets and soft furnishings if they've been exposed to asbestos dust.
Final Inspection & Verification
Once cleaning is complete, a thorough visual inspection is conducted. For added assurance, we can arrange for air testing to confirm that fiber levels are below the clearance indicator level of 0.01 fibers/ml, ensuring the area is safe for reoccupation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our environmental cleaning services
How long does environmental cleaning take?
The duration depends on the size of the area and level of contamination. A single room might take 1-2 days, while larger spaces or entire buildings could take several days to a week. We'll provide a timeframe estimate after our initial assessment.
Do I need to remove furniture and belongings before cleaning?
We recommend removing personal items and smaller furniture when possible. For larger items that cannot be moved, we can clean them in place or cover them for protection. We'll discuss these details during the planning phase.
Is air testing required after environmental cleaning?
While not always mandatory for non-licensed work, we strongly recommend air testing to verify that the cleaning has been effective. For areas where licensed removal work has occurred, air testing is a regulatory requirement before reoccupation.
Can carpets and soft furnishings be cleaned, or do they need to be replaced?
This depends on the level of contamination. In many cases, HEPA vacuuming and specialized cleaning can effectively decontaminate carpets and soft furnishings. For heavily contaminated items or those exposed to friable asbestos, replacement may be recommended.
How do you ensure all asbestos fibers are removed?
Our multi-stage cleaning process is designed to capture even microscopic fibers. We use HEPA vacuums, wet wiping, and thorough inspection techniques. For additional assurance, air testing can quantify any remaining airborne fibers, with the target being levels below 0.01 fibers/ml.
