Did you know?
If you are carrying out extensive renovation to your domestic property, an asbestos survey can be performed to help minimise the risk to contractors working on the property, as well as to its occupants. This is particularly important when removing walls or ceilings, as there is a high chance of debris. As such it is imperative that we make the area safe to work in.
If you are renovating a property with the intention to rent, then it is important to remember that Landlords are under a 'duty of care' to ensure that a risk assessment is carried out before tenants move in. Failure to do so can result in prosecution. Similarly, landlords can be found guilty of a criminal offence if anyone is exposed to asbestos.
Our asbestos removal services include:
Removal Works:
- Removal of asbestos garages, floor tiles, insulation board, textured coating
- Encapsulation and repairs
- Asbestos waste collection and disposal
- Re-instatement of works
Surveying Services:
If you suspect that there may be asbestos present in your property, garage or garden shed, it is important to get it checked out by a professional. At ICEAsbestos, we offer free no obligation consultations. This means you can easily get a member of our specialist team to come assess the situation, before receiving advice on how best to proceed and take action.
