Professional Asbestos Removal in Colchester
There are two differences between the companies offering asbestos removal in Colchester, that being that there are licensed and unlicensed organisations.
- A licensed asbestos removal company is vetted and accredited by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
- An unlicensed company may be cheaper but does not hold the same endorsement and may not be up to date with the latest procedures and guidelines for managing asbestos.
All licensed (notifiable) asbestos removals are completed with an air test to ensure that the area is clear of asbestos fibres and 100% safe to reoccupy. These tests are conducted by an independent UKAS accredited company to ensure there is no conflict of interest.
In addition to removing asbestos, we also provide alternative solutions including encapsulation. This process leaves the material in place but protects it from the surrounding environment. This is sometimes the cheaper alternative and may be necessary where asbestos is part of the structure of a building.
