Licensed Asbestos Removal
Our HSE-licensed team handles high-risk asbestos removal projects involving roofing, insulation, and other materials requiring specialist containment. We follow strict control measures to maintain safe fibre levels during removal. Our expertise ensures compliance with CAR 2012 regulations while protecting building occupants from asbestos exposure risks.
Non-licensed Asbestos Removal
For lower-risk scenarios involving materials like asbestos cement and textured coatings, we provide cost-effective removal solutions. Our trained professionals use appropriate controls to manage short-term exposure risks during maintenance tasks. This service maintains safety standards while offering flexibility for less hazardous asbestos-containing materials.
Encapsulation Work
When removal isn't optimal, we implement encapsulation using protective barriers to contain asbestos fibres. This approach involves applying specialist coatings or installing containment systems to prevent fibre release. Our solutions balance safety with cost-effectiveness for materials that can be securely managed in situ.
Waste Disposal
We operate a licensed waste transfer station for safe asbestos waste disposal. Our service includes proper handling of contaminated materials, PPE, and tools following removal projects. We ensure complete compliance with environmental regulations for all asbestos-related waste streams.
Abatement Services
Our abatement process involves comprehensive risk assessment and management of asbestos-containing materials. We develop tailored strategies to address asbestos hazards through removal, encapsulation, or containment. This service provides long-term safety solutions while maintaining building functionality.

Cannot recommend this company enough. Friendly yet highly professional service. Needed a job done quickly, they came out to give me a quote the following day and provided the estimate a day later. We were then booked in for the next available slot. The work was done within the estimated time frame. Given that it involved removing a ceiling and… taking the wall back to brick, we expected a mess but there was absolutely none. The room in question was sealed off and all of the waste removed so not even a spec of dust was left behind. I have never experienced such a high level of customer service

Not only that, but immediately after having my soundproofing done, I was then told that I needed to get the door soundproofed as well for it to be effective.
