What asbestos removal in Exeter involves
Asbestos removal is the controlled process of taking asbestos-containing materials out of a building and disposing of them safely. In law, higher-risk (licensable) removal, such as pipe and boiler lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board, must be carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Lower-risk work on well-bonded materials like asbestos cement can sometimes be done as non-licensed work, but it still needs trained operatives, a risk assessment and proper controls.
Because disturbing asbestos is what releases the fibres, removal is never a casual DIY job for anything but the lowest-risk materials, and even then great care is needed. The right approach depends on what the material is and what condition it is in, which is why any removal starts with identifying the material and assessing the risk.
What to expect
- A clear scope once the material and its condition are known.
- Licensable work carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor, as the law requires.
- Safe, compliant hazardous-waste disposal, with the paperwork to prove it.
- A free, no-obligation quote before anything is agreed.
How asbestos removal works
- 1
Assess
Identify the material and assess the risk. A survey or a sample confirms what it is and whether the work is licensable.
- 2
Plan and notify
For licensable work a written plan of work is prepared and HSE is given 14 days' notice. Notifiable non-licensed work is also notified in advance.
- 3
Contain and remove
Higher-risk removal is done inside a sealed enclosure under negative pressure, with air monitoring, protective equipment and controlled methods that keep the material wet and intact.
- 4
Dispose
The waste is double-bagged, labelled and taken away as hazardous waste under a consignment note to a permitted disposal site.
- 5
Clear
After licensable removal, an independent analyst carries out a four-stage clearance and issues a certificate of reoccupation before anyone returns.
