Asbestos Removal Guidance & Support

What Happens After Asbestos is Found?

Discovering asbestos in your property can feel overwhelming — but knowing it's there is the first step to managing it safely. Once our survey identifies asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), we provide you with a clear, detailed report outlining the condition, risk level, and recommended course of action for each material found.

Not all asbestos needs to be removed. In many cases, materials in good condition can be safely managed in place. Where removal is necessary, we can advise you on the correct type of contractor to engage and what to expect from the process — ensuring you ask the right questions and stay protected throughout.

Understanding Your Options

Following an asbestos survey, you may be advised to manage, encapsulate, or remove asbestos-containing materials depending on their condition and location. Here's what you need to know:

• Not all asbestos must be removed — condition and risk level determine the right approach
• Management in place is often the safest and most cost-effective solution
• Where removal is required, it must be carried out by a suitably qualified contractor
• Some higher-risk asbestos types require a contractor licensed by the HSE
• We provide clear post-survey guidance so you can make informed decisions
• We can advise on what to look for when selecting a removal contractor
