Services
Asbestos Removal
em1 Ltd undertakes removal of all asbestos types, including high-risk materials like insulation board and sprayed coatings. Our licensed operatives follow HSE guidelines to ensure safe, compliant removal for residential and commercial properties. Works require 14-day HSE notification for notifiable projects.
Asbestos Disposal
We transport and dispose of asbestos waste via Environment Agency-registered transfer stations. Using sealed vehicles and ADR-certified drivers, we handle quantities from single bags to bulk loads, providing waste consignment notes for client records.
Domestic Properties
Specialist asbestos management for homeowners and insurers. Our team provides advisory services, emergency response, and nationwide coverage, offering peace of mind through tailored solutions and technologically supported contract management.
Insurance Work
We collaborate with insurance providers to manage asbestos-related claims efficiently. Services include emergency attendance, documentation, and cost-effective abatement solutions tailored to policyholder needs and regulatory requirements.
Asbestos Encapsulation
For non-removal scenarios, we apply specialist encapsulation treatments to seal asbestos materials. This method prevents fibre release while maintaining structural integrity, suitable for occupied premises requiring minimal disruption.

Removed some Artex for us, when we came back to the house, it was cleaner than when we had left it! Very knowledgeable and friendly. They explained everything to myself and my partner thoroughly and nothing was too much trouble. Very genuine company, thank you!
