Services
Asbestos Removal
Our asbestos removal service safely eliminates asbestos-containing materials from commercial properties. Using HSE-compliant methods, we conduct controlled removals of insulation, Artex coatings, and floor tiles. The process involves containment systems, air monitoring, and licensed waste disposal to ensure safety for occupants and our technicians. This service is critical for properties undergoing renovation or demolition.
Asbestos Surveys
We provide comprehensive asbestos surveys to identify hazardous materials in buildings. Our licensed surveyors use sampling and analysis to determine asbestos types and condition. This includes management surveys for ongoing monitoring and refurbishment/demolition surveys for major works. The findings inform risk assessments and removal planning, ensuring compliance with current regulations.
Lead Paint Removal
Our lead paint removal service addresses hazardous coatings in commercial properties. Using specialist equipment and containment methods, we safely strip lead-based paints from surfaces. This includes both intact and deteriorated paintwork, with encapsulation options available. The process prevents lead dust contamination, protecting workers and building users during and after removal operations.
Lead Paint Surveys
We conduct detailed lead paint surveys to assess coating conditions and lead content. Our experts identify high-risk areas where paint deterioration could release toxic particles. The survey determines whether removal, encapsulation, or monitoring is required. This service helps commercial property owners meet health and safety obligations while planning appropriate remediation measures.
Encapsulation Services
Our encapsulation services provide alternative solutions to material removal. For asbestos insulation or lead paint, we apply specialist sealants that permanently bind hazardous particles. This method controls risks while maintaining structural integrity, particularly useful for inaccessible areas. The process includes surface preparation, primer application, and durable encapsulant coating to prevent future contamination.
