Licensed AIB removal through a partly occupied building, sequenced area by area with protected routes and out-of-hours working. Tenants stayed in throughout and every completed area was independently cleared before handback.
Every stage ran under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012: notification to the HSE, a sealed and smoke-tested enclosure, negative pressure with monitored airflow, and a four-stage clearance by an independent analyst before handback.

Innov8 UK Group attended site on the agreed date alongside the principal contractor to assess licensed asbestos removal requirements within R28 Lobby and R31 Reception at Hesketh House. A recent reinspection asbestos survey identified asbestos insulation board (AIB) debris and damaged beam cladding within ceiling voids and high-level areas, requiring urgent remedial action under licensed conditions. The works have been agreed with the client and was undertaken under fully controlled conditions in accordance with CAR 2012.
