Step by Step

How Our Asbestos Removal Service Works in Stevenage

Every job follows the same documented process — from first contact to final Waste Transfer Note.

01

Asbestos Survey

A licensed surveyor inspects the building to identify the type, location, and condition of all suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). A refurbishment/demolition (R&D) survey is always required before any stripping or demolition work.

02

Risk Assessment & Work Plan

A detailed written work plan sets out the removal or encapsulation methodology, respiratory protective equipment (RPE) requirements, supervision arrangements, and the air monitoring strategy.

03

Enclosure Setup

For licensed removal, a sealed negative-pressure enclosure is constructed around the work area. Air flows through industrial HEPA-filtered extraction units, preventing fibre release to the wider building.

04

Removal or Encapsulation

Licensed operatives in full PPE remove or encapsulate the ACMs. All material is double-bagged in UN-approved asbestos waste bags and labelled correctly as hazardous waste.

05

Four-Stage Air Clearance

An independent UKAS-accredited analyst conducts the four-stage clearance procedure, including a final background air test. The enclosure is not dismantled and the area is not released until fibres are confirmed below the clearance criterion.

06

Hazardous Waste Consignment

All asbestos waste is transported under a hazardous waste consignment note to an EA-permitted asbestos disposal facility. Copies of all consignment notes are provided to the client.

Common Questions

Asbestos Removal in Stevenage — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my building contains asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in UK construction from the 1950s until its total ban in 1999. If your building was constructed or refurbished before 2000, it may contain asbestos. Common locations include ceiling tiles, floor tiles, artex coatings, pipe lagging, boiler insulation, roof panels, and partition boards (asbestos insulation board). Only a licensed asbestos survey can confirm the presence, type, and condition of ACMs.

What is the difference between licensed and non-licensed asbestos work?

Licensed work covers high-risk materials where asbestos fibres are more likely to become airborne during removal — friable asbestos, asbestos insulation board (AIB), sprayed coatings, and pipe lagging. An HSE licence is legally required for this work. Non-licensed work covers lower-risk materials such as textured coatings (artex) and some types of floor tiles where fibre release is lower. We carry out both types of work.

Can the building remain occupied during asbestos removal?

For licensed removal work, the affected area must be sealed and all non-essential personnel must vacate. Depending on the scope, it may be possible to continue working in other parts of the building — your project coordinator will define the exclusion zone before work begins and keep you informed throughout.

How much does asbestos removal cost?

Cost depends on the type and quantity of material, accessibility, and the decontamination requirements. A small area of textured coating removal typically ranges from £400 to £900; a larger commercial project involving extensive AIB or lagging can run to several thousand pounds. We provide fixed-price written quotations after the survey is completed — there are no unexpected extras.
