Licensed Asbestos Removal
Expert coordination of licensed asbestos removal for high-risk materials
When Licensed Removal is Required
While we specialize in Non-Licensed Asbestos Work (NLW), some asbestos materials require removal by HSE-licensed contractors. For these high-risk situations, we coordinate with our network of trusted licensed contractors to ensure safe, compliant removal.
Materials Requiring Licensed Removal
Sprayed asbestos coatings and insulation
Asbestos insulation and lagging
Asbestos insulating board (AIB) when not meeting NLW criteria
Loose fill insulation
Severely damaged asbestos materials that cannot be safely managed
Our Licensed Removal Coordination Service
We manage the entire process while partnering with licensed contractors
Initial Assessment
We'll conduct a thorough assessment to determine if licensed removal is required. This includes inspecting the materials, their condition, and reviewing any existing survey data.
Contractor Selection
We'll select the most appropriate licensed contractor from our trusted network based on the specific requirements of your project, ensuring they have the right experience and qualifications.
Project Management
We'll coordinate all aspects of the project, including planning, scheduling, and liaison between you and the licensed contractor. This ensures a smooth process with minimal disruption.
Compliance Oversight
We ensure all work is conducted in full compliance with HSE regulations, including proper notifications, waste disposal, and air monitoring requirements.
Comprehensive Solution
We can combine licensed work with our non-licensed services for a complete solution, including surveys, air testing, and environmental cleaning after removal.
Clearance Certification
Upon completion, we arrange for independent air testing and provide all necessary clearance documentation to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about licensed asbestos removal
How do I know if my asbestos removal requires a licensed contractor?
The requirement for licensed removal depends on the type of asbestos material, its condition, and the nature of the work. Generally, high-risk materials like sprayed coatings, pipe insulation, lagging, and most asbestos insulating board work require licensed contractors. We can assess your specific situation and advise accordingly.
What notifications are required for licensed asbestos removal?
Licensed asbestos work requires notification to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) at least 14 days before work begins. Our coordination service handles all necessary notifications and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
How long does licensed asbestos removal take?
The duration varies greatly depending on the size and complexity of the project. Small-scale work might take a few days, while large commercial projects could take weeks. Licensed work involves more extensive setup procedures, including building containment enclosures and setting up decontamination units, which adds to the project timeline.
What happens to the removed asbestos?
Removed asbestos is treated as hazardous waste and must be disposed of at licensed waste facilities. It is double-bagged, sealed, and labeled in accordance with regulations. We ensure all waste is transported by licensed carriers and provide waste consignment notes as part of our documentation.
What documentation will I receive after the work is completed?
You will receive comprehensive documentation including the plan of work, air monitoring results, clearance certificates, waste consignment notes, and a completion certificate. This documentation is important for your records and may be required if you sell your property or for compliance with workplace regulations.
