Asbestos News

The Reddish Vale team of licensed asbestos specialists have over 30 years of combined industry experience and we have been licensed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for asbestos removal since 1985. We carry out a wide range of asbestos services across the UK, tailored to you and your building, including Asbestos Removal, Asbestos Remediation, Asbestos Surveys and Soft Strip Demolition. We have a wealth of experience carrying out these services across many different sectors, including commercial, educational, governmental, industrial, leisure-related, and construction & demolition projects. Explore our asbestos news here.

Our asbestos removal services involve operatives implementing control measures on-site where removal is due to take place. This will ensure asbestos fibres do not infiltrate any surrounding areas. The extent of our security measures are dependent on the type of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) found and the condition they are in. Our removal team will then safely and compliantly remove all ACMs to ensure no risk to health, these materials are then sent to a designated asbestos waste disposal site and specialist cleaning will take place within your premises.

Our asbestos remediation package will safely and compliantly manage any ACMs found within your premises during one of our asbestos surveys. Our remediation consultants will always follow health and safety guidelines when remediating your property. Our wealth of experience allows us to deliver bespoke and complex asbestos remediation contracts in such a way that there is no risk to anyone on-site.
