Licensed Asbestos Removal across Cumbria
Farm buildings with cement sheet roofs, shipyard and industrial sites on the west coast, and Lake District guest houses all need asbestos surveys before work starts.
Licensed work covers the most dangerous asbestos materials. It needs a full enclosure under negative pressure, a decontamination unit, air monitoring and, at the end, a four-stage clearance by an independent analyst. HSE must be notified at least 14 days before work starts.
Guide price: Quoted after survey (HSE requires 14 days' notice).
