Asbestos Removal for Main Contractors

WHERE WE WORK

Sites and buildings we work on

Refurbishment and demolition packages, pre-strip enabling works, structural alterations and full site clearances — if your project touches a building finished before 2000, a refurbishment and demolition survey and a licensed removal package usually sit on the critical path.

We price from the survey, submit RAMS and notifications up front, and hold your programme: directly employed operatives, enclosures built to the plan of work, air testing booked ahead, and four-stage clearance booked into the programme.

Handover documentation, first time

At completion, we provide the documents relevant to the agreed work. These may include survey reports, the plan of work, notification records, air-monitoring results, applicable clearance certificates and waste consignment notes.

Any project-specific handover requirements, including drawings and the format of the completion pack, should be agreed as part of the scope. Where unexpected material is found, we explain whether further sampling or assessment is needed and discuss any resulting change to the work.

An enabling trade that protects your programme

We review the refurbishment and demolition survey information before pricing and plan the asbestos work around your construction programme, including any required notification period. Our supervisors coordinate with your site management on inductions, shared welfare, crane and hoist access and sectional handovers.

Where the scope includes soft strip, we plan it alongside the asbestos work. On education projects, we discuss access restrictions and school-holiday programmes. Enclosures and work areas are planned around the site, with restrictions explained before work begins.

Each area is handed over following the checks and clearance arrangements appropriate to the work. Read about our March 2025 HSE site inspection and our commercial asbestos removal service for further project information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Main contractor questions, answered

01How quickly can you mobilise to site?

For non-notifiable work, often within days. Notifiable licensed work legally requires 14 days’ notice to the HSE — we submit the notification immediately on instruction and use the notice period for enclosure design, RAMS and inductions so removal can start when the notice period ends.

02Do you carry out refurbishment & demolition surveys?

Yes. R&D surveys are the legal prerequisite for any refurbishment or demolition work, and we run them tightly ahead of your strip-out so findings feed straight into the removal package rather than arriving as a surprise mid-programme.

03Can you work to our programme and alongside other trades?

Yes — it’s most of what we do. Sealed enclosures let adjacent zones keep working, we attend your coordination meetings, and we hand back areas sectionally so following trades start early where possible. Out-of-hours and weekend shifts are available when the programme needs them.

04What insurance and accreditations do you hold?

Full HSE asbestos removal licence (No. 242606081), £10m public and employer’s liability insurance, and CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline Gold accreditations. Licence and insurance documents are issued with every tender pack.

05Do you handle HSE notification?

Yes — ASB5 notification and the 14-day notice period are managed by us, with licence conditions, plans of work and waste routes all in place before the programme date.

06Can you price from a bill or survey?

Either — we quote from your R&D survey or BoQ, flag where provisional sums carry risk, and requote quickly on discovery items so commercial teams have the information they need.

07What happens if more asbestos is found mid-strip?

Stop, report, evidence — photographs and survey data with a priced variation the same week. Variations are set out in writing before the work proceeds.

08Do you provide supervision and daily reporting?

A supervisor per enclosure, daily site records, smoke tests and clearance documentation — an audit trail your CDM and quality teams can lift straight into the H&S file.

09Will your site standards match ours?

Inductions, your PPE and permit rules, tidy compounds and hoarding lines respected — we work as part of your site team. If one of your trades disturbs asbestos, this is what happens next.

10Can you deliver soft strip alongside removal?

Yes — combined licensed removal and soft strip packages under one mobilisation, one RAMS pack and one point of contact, which usually saves programme and prelims.
