Asbestos Abatement and Removal
Asbestos Abatement and Removal: Safe, Efficient, and Worry-Free
Suspect asbestos in your property? Don't take any risks.
Asbestos, once a common building material, poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. Its fibres, when inhaled, can lead to devastating diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer. That's why professional asbestos abatement and removal is crucial. At J.S. Environmental Ltd, we understand the importance of safe and responsible asbestos removal. As a fully licensed asbestos removal contractor with over 40 years of experience, our highly trained team is equipped to handle any asbestos abatement project, big or small, across the UK.
What Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) Do We Remove?
Our expertise in asbestos abatement covers a wide range of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), including:
- Asbestos Insulation: Often found in older properties, asbestos insulation was used to lag pipes, boilers, and ducts.
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB): Commonly used for fire protection, partitioning, and ceiling tiles, AIB requires careful handling and removal by licensed professionals.
- Non-Licensed Asbestos: This category encompasses materials like Artex (textured coatings), floor tiles, and asbestos cement products. While non-licensed, their removal still demands professional expertise to ensure safety.

We adhere to strict safety protocols and industry best practices throughout the entire asbestos removal process:
- Thorough Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify the type and extent of asbestos present.
- Careful Planning: A detailed removal plan is developed, considering the specific requirements of your property and the type of asbestos involved.
- Safe Enclosure: The affected area is sealed off to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres during the asbestos abatement process.
- Expert Removal: Our trained and licensed technicians, using specialist equipment, carefully remove the asbestos-containing materials.
- Fibre Suppression: We employ techniques to minimise the release of fibres during the removal process.
- Waste Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely packaged, labelled, and transported to a licensed disposal facility in accordance with regulations.
- Air Monitoring: We conduct air monitoring to ensure no airborne fibres remain, guaranteeing a safe environment after the asbestos removal is complete.

Asbestos handling poses significant health risks and should only be undertaken by licensed professionals with the appropriate training, equipment, and expertise to ensure safe removal and disposal. Improper handling of asbestos can lead to severe respiratory complications and other long-term health issues.
Asbestos Exposure: Serious Health Consequences
Inhaling microscopic asbestos fibres can cause severe health problems, including:
- Lung diseases: Asbestosis (scarring), lung cancer, and mesothelioma (cancer of the lung lining).
- Other cancers: Increased risk of cancers in the larynx, ovary, stomach, and more.
- Pleural disorders: Plaques, thickening, and fluid buildup around the lungs.
Professional asbestos removal is crucial to prevent these health risks.
Asbestos removal, especially for high-risk materials, is heavily regulated due to the highly significant health risks. Only HSE-licensed contractors with expertly trained personnel and rigorous safety protocols can perform all aspects this work. This ensures the highest safety standards and protects everyone involved.
Choosing an HSE-licensed asbestos removal contractor is crucial. Licensed professionals are rigorously trained, follow stringent safety procedures, and prioritize containment to minimize health risks. Unlicensed contractors pose a significant risk, as their practices and qualifications are unverified. When it comes to asbestos, safety and compliance are non-negotiable.
Asbestos removal is a strictly controlled process to protect everyone involved. Here's an overview of what Asbestos removal entails:
Preparation: A thorough inspection is carried out and the work area is completely sealed off to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres.
Protection: Our fully licensed trained professionals are equipped with specialised personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, suits, and gloves, to minimise exposure.
Removal: Asbestos-containing materials are carefully removed, often using wet methods to suppress dust and prevent fibres from becoming airborne.
Disposal: The asbestos waste is securely packaged and transported to a licensed disposal facility according to HSE regulations.
Air Monitoring: Thorough air quality tests are conducted after the removal work to ensure the area is safe and free from asbestos fibres.
While the terms "asbestos abatement" and "asbestos removal" are often used interchangeably, there's a distinct difference.
To clarify: removal is one type of abatement, but abatement doesn't always mean removal.
Understanding the difference is crucial:
- Asbestos Removal: This involves the complete physical extraction and disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a property. It's a highly regulated process, as outlined in our previous response, requiring specialist expertise and strict adherence to safety protocols.
- Asbestos Abatement: This is a broader term encompassing any method used to render asbestos safe. Besides removal, abatement can also include:
- Encapsulation: Sealing the ACMs with a specialist sealant to prevent fibre release. This is often a suitable option when the asbestos is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed.
- Enclosure: Building a new structure around the ACMs to contain them. This may be used for asbestos in inaccessible locations where removal is impractical.
Choosing the right approach depends on several factors, including the type of asbestos, its condition, location within the property, and the intended future use of the area.
At JS Environmental, we conduct thorough assessments to recommend the safest and most effective asbestos abatement solution for your specific needs.
