Asbestos Removal
Our licensed asbestos removal service ensures safe disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in compliance with The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Using UKATA/ARCA-trained operatives, we conduct risk assessments, encapsulate or remove ACMs, and provide reinstatement works. Clients benefit from minimal disruption and full legislative compliance across commercial, industrial, and domestic properties.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
We specialise in hazardous waste classification, collection, and disposal including chemicals, solvents, and contaminated materials. Our Environment Agency-licensed carriers provide duty-of-care documentation, ensuring adherence to waste hierarchy regulations. Services cover WEEE recycling, clinical waste, and liquid waste treatment for businesses of all sizes.
Demolition Services
From manual dismantling to mechanical wrecking, our demolition services handle projects of all scales. This includes pre-demolition asbestos surveys, soft stripping, and rubble clearance. We prioritise material recovery and responsible disposal while maintaining safety standards during structural alterations or full-site demolitions.
Contaminated Land Remediation
Our remediation experts address soil contamination through testing, pollutant removal, and site restoration. Using specialist equipment, we manage asbestos-contaminated land and chemical spills, preparing sites for redevelopment while meeting environmental agency requirements and minimising ecological impact.
Industrial Cleaning
We deliver high-standard industrial cleaning for factories, warehouses, and leisure facilities. Services include high-level cladding/window cleaning, equipment decontamination, and monument restoration using eco-friendly products.
