Brilliant service from ICEASBESTOS! We are a young family starting out. ICE came round and gave us our free quote and then took away our asbestos tiles for FREE... I highly recommend ICEASBESTOS.
Nationwide Commercial Asbestos Removal
Products containing asbestos are all too common within commercial environments, especially in buildings or offices built prior to the late 1970's. If you suspect you have materials containing asbestos then you should not be tempted to investigate. Asbestos based products are fairly safe when undamaged, but as a precaution you should always have the building assessed by a trained asbestos engineer.
If you discover damaged asbestos based products then don’t delay! You, your colleagues and your employees run the high risk of long term health problems should it remain unchecked. Fortunately, our team of specialists at ICEAsbestos work with a wide range of commercial properties and building contractors offering both asbestos surveys and asbestos removal.
Where is asbestos found in commercial buildings?

Who is Responsible for asbestos?
If you are a landlord, tenant or managing agent of a commercial property, you may be responsible for managing asbestos. It is important to check your lease to find out who is responsible for asbestos. If it is your responsibility, then it is useful to have an asbestos survey performed. Should any asbestos containing materials be found, then samples should be sent off to be analysed.
REMEMBER - even owners of derelict or vacant premises/ warehouses need an asbestos survey.
