Controlled removal for higher-risk asbestos work.
D J Hintons provides licensed asbestos removal for commercial, industrial, public-sector and domestic projects across the UK, supported by experienced project management and controlled site delivery.
Licensed asbestos work requires careful assessment, planning and control. We review available asbestos survey information, the material and its condition, access arrangements, the proposed programme and the wider site environment before agreeing the most suitable approach.
When licensed asbestos removal may be required
Licensable work can include higher-risk asbestos-containing materials such as asbestos insulation board, thermal insulation and lagging, or other materials and tasks that fall within the licensing requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations. The correct work category depends on the material, condition, task and expected exposure, so each project should be assessed on its own circumstances.
Controlled enclosures
Purpose-built working enclosures, controlled access arrangements, negative pressure and project-specific controls where required by the planned method.
Commercial & industrial works
Support for factories, plant rooms, offices, refurbishment projects, occupied sites and complex operational environments.
Project management
Coordinated delivery from survey and pre-start information through planning, site works, communication and completion.
Waste management
Appropriate packaging, handling, transport and disposal arrangements for asbestos waste arising from the work.
Typical licensed-removal project stages
Review
Scope, survey information, access, occupancy and site conditions are reviewed.
Planning
Method, controls, sequencing, enclosure arrangements and site requirements are developed.
Removal
Controlled asbestos removal is carried out by the project team in accordance with the planned controls.
Completion
Inspection, clearance and handover arrangements are completed as appropriate for the work undertaken.
Send the survey and project information where available.
Providing the asbestos survey, photographs, drawings, programme dates and a clear description of the proposed works helps our estimating team review the scope accurately. If the existing information is not sufficient, we can discuss what further survey or investigation may be needed before removal is planned.
