Licensed Asbestos Removal in Hampshire

Licensed and non-licensed asbestos removal by HSE-licensed contractors, ensuring safe extraction and full regulatory compliance.

We hold a full HSE licence for the removal of all types of asbestos-containing materials, including high-risk materials such as sprayed coatings (limpet), asbestos insulation board (AIB), and pipe lagging. Our removal operatives are trained, medically certified, and work in strict compliance with HSG248 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Asbestos removal is one of the highest-risk activities in the construction and maintenance industries. We take this responsibility seriously, operating under full HSE licensing with comprehensive plans of work, air monitoring, and four-stage clearance procedures on every licensed removal project across Hampshire.

Asbestos Removal FAQs

Do I always need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?

Not always. Licensed removal is required for high-risk materials such as sprayed coatings, asbestos insulation board (AIB), and loose-fill insulation. Lower-risk materials like asbestos cement, textured coatings, and some floor tiles may be removed under non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work categories, but trained personnel and proper controls are still required.

What is four-stage clearance?

Four-stage clearance is the process used to confirm an area is safe for reoccupation after licensed asbestos removal. It consists of: (1) a preliminary check of the work area, (2) a thorough visual inspection, (3) air monitoring to confirm fibre levels are below the clearance indicator, and (4) a final assessment. This must be carried out by an independent analyst, not the removal contractor.

How long before I can reoccupy the area after removal?

Reoccupation is only permitted after independent four-stage clearance has been completed and a certificate of reoccupation issued. For small domestic projects, this can sometimes be achieved within the same day. Larger commercial projects may require several days of clearance monitoring depending on the scope of works.
