At Certified Asbestos Removal, we provide fully licensed asbestos work and hazardous material removal services for properties and business sites across England and the UK.

Our team of operatives works in full compliance with UKAS and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards, ensuring asbestos fibers are removed safely and in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

We manage every stage of the procedure, from initial preparation through to complete removal and safe disposal, leaving your premises ready for reoccupation or further works.

When Is Certified Asbestos Removal Required?

Certified asbestos removal is required whenever asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are damaged, deteriorating, or likely to be disturbed during maintenance, refurbishment, or demolition.

This is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for higher-risk ACMs such as asbestos insulation board, pipe lagging, and sprayed coatings. Duty holders, contractors, and property managers must ensure removal is carried out by a licensed person to protect health and avoid legal breaches.

Which Projects Require Licensed Certified Asbestos Removal?

Projects that require licensed certified asbestos removal include:

• Asbestos insulation board (AIB) removal – Ceiling panels, wall linings, or partition walls containing asbestos.
• Pipe lagging removal – Insulation on heating and water systems.
• Sprayed coating removal – Fireproofing or insulation sprayed onto ceilings or structural steel.
• Commercial properties – Offices, shops, and mixed-use buildings with licensed ACMs.
• Industrial premises – Factories, warehouses, and plant rooms where asbestos enclosures are present.
• Demolition works – Properties undergoing demolition after asbestos has been identified.
• Small-scale licensed works – Even minor removal projects involving licensed ACMs in domestic or commercial settings.

How Much Does Certified Asbestos Removal Cost Across Area?

The cost of certified asbestos removal ranges from £400 to over £800 + VAT, depending on the size of the work area, ease of access, type of ACM, and urgency of the works.

Factors affecting the price include the number of areas requiring removal, complexity of the site, additional air monitoring needs, and whether the building is residential, commercial, or industrial.

What Is Involved in the Certified Asbestos Removal Process?

The certified asbestos removal process begins with an initial assessment to identify and evaluate the condition of ACMs present. Once confirmed, the work area is sealed using containment systems with negative pressure to prevent fiber release.

Removal is carried out using controlled methods that minimise disturbance and airborne contamination, with air monitoring throughout to maintain safe levels.

After removal, the site undergoes thorough decontamination to clean surfaces and remove any debris. Full documentation is then provided to confirm the site is safe for reoccupation.

Who Can Legally Carry Out Certified Asbestos Removal?

Only licensed asbestos removal contractors, accredited by UKAS or holding a valid HSE licence, are permitted to undertake certified asbestos removal.

Our operatives are fully qualified, highly experienced in high-risk field environments, and operate independently from asbestos testing to ensure legal compliance.

How Is Air Quality Ensured During and After Certified Asbestos Removal?

Air monitoring is performed during certified asbestos removal using calibrated pumps and UKAS-approved fibre-counting methods.

The legal limit is 0.01 fibers per cubic centimetre (f/cm³). If readings exceed this threshold, further cleaning and retesting are carried out before the area is cleared for reoccupation.

Can Certified Asbestos Removal Be Done the Same Day as Discovery?

In some cases, certified asbestos removal can be scheduled on the same day as discovery, provided a licensed team is available and all required safety measures are in place.

We offer flexible scheduling, including early morning, evening, and emergency call-outs, to minimise project delays and support clients with urgent enquiry needs.

What Equipment and Safety Measures Are Used During Certified Asbestos Removal?

Our certified asbestos removal teams use:

• Negative pressure units – Maintain safe airflow in sealed areas.
• Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) air testing units – Monitor airborne fibers.
• Smoke testing equipment – Check enclosure integrity before removal begins.
• High-powered lighting – Identify any hidden asbestos debris.
• Specialist protective PPE – Protects workers from exposure.
• Calibrated pumps – Maintain accurate air sampling during monitoring.
• Regular equipment calibration – Ensures compliance with safety standards.

Is a Clearance Certificate Issued After Certified Asbestos Removal?

Once certified asbestos removal is completed and the site passes all safety inspections and air tests, we issue a Certificate of Reoccupation. This document confirms that the area meets safety standards, is compliant with regulations, and can be entered without restrictions.
