Asbestos Removal for Housing Associations

WHERE WE WORK

The buildings we work in

System-built estates, non-traditional construction, 1960s and 70s blocks, communal areas, bin stores, drying rooms and tank rooms — social housing stock carries some of the widest asbestos legacies in the country, and every property type on an estate can differ.

We deliver both planned reinvestment programmes and responsive works: resident liaison and access management handled by us, decants avoided wherever safe working allows, and reporting formatted for your asset management system and compliance audits.

Asbestos management at stock scale

Managing asbestos across hundreds or thousands of homes is a different discipline from a one-off removal. Housing associations need a partner who can hold a rolling programme together: planned works and responsive call-outs, void turnarounds, survey programmes that keep the asbestos register current, and clean data flowing back after every visit. That’s the service we’ve built — one team, one point of contact, consistent paperwork across the whole stock.

Most of the work happens in occupied homes, and we treat that seriously. Residents get clear notice of what’s happening and why, work areas are sealed and cleaned before handback, and our operatives are DBS-checked and used to working respectfully in people’s living rooms — including with elderly and vulnerable residents. Where jobs need decants or out-of-hours slots, we plan that with your housing officers rather than around them.

Data your asbestos register can use

Every property visit returns structured records: what was found, what was removed or made safe, air monitoring results, clearance certificates and consignment notes — referenced to your UPRNs so your register and compliance reporting stay audit-ready. For planned refurbishment or decarbonisation programmes, we integrate with your R&D surveys and contractors so asbestos never becomes the blocker.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Housing association questions, answered

01Can you work in occupied social housing?

Yes — most of our housing association work is in occupied homes. Work areas are sealed, residents are kept informed in plain language, and rooms are cleaned and certified before handback. Where a job genuinely needs a decant, we flag it at survey stage so you can plan.

02Do you deliver planned and rolling programmes?

Yes. We resource rolling removal and survey programmes alongside responsive works, working to your priorities and void targets, with agreed SLAs and a single point of contact.

03How do you keep residents safe and informed?

Advance notice in plain English, sealed enclosures with negative pressure where required, respectful DBS-checked operatives, and independent air testing before any area is handed back. Resident liaison is part of the job, not an extra.

04What reporting and data do you provide for our register?

Per-property records referenced to your addresses/UPRNs: survey findings, removal records, air test results, clearance certificates and waste consignment notes — supplied in a format your asbestos register and compliance team can import.

05Can you feed data into our asset management system?

Yes — survey findings, removal records and certificates delivered in your import format, referenced by UPRN or your asset codes, so your register updates without manual rekeying.

06How do you handle no-access properties?

Flexible appointment slots including evenings and Saturdays, reminder cards and calls through your liaison process, and a documented escalation path — with revisits built into the programme rather than billed as extras.

07Can you support retrofit and decent homes programmes?

Yes — pre-works refurbishment and demolition surveys and asbestos removals sequenced ahead of kitchens, bathrooms, EWI and window replacements, so the retrofit contractor starts on a clean certificate.

08What happens when asbestos is disturbed in a tenanted home?

24/7 emergency make-safe, air testing, clear reassurance for the resident and a full incident report for your compliance team — handled as a priority, not a queue.

09How do you price framework call-offs?

Against your schedule of rates or an agreed fixed-price menu, with open-book backup available — consistent pricing across the programme, no per-job renegotiation.

10What about communal areas, bin stores and tank rooms?

They sit squarely under the duty to manage. We survey common parts, prioritise by risk and condition, and deliver remedial works with minimal disruption to residents.
