About asbestos removal & survey services
Higher-risk work — sprayed coatings, lagging, most insulating board — may only be done by an HSE licensed contractor with prior notification. Lower-risk work such as cement sheeting can be non-licensed but still needs correct method and disposal at a licensed site. A survey and a sample test come before any quote worth having.
