Our Asbestos Process in Wigan
Every asbestos removal process we carry out follows a clear, structured process to give you accurate results and full peace of mind.
1. Initial Consultation & Site Survey
We start with a detailed discussion of your site and requirements, followed by a comprehensive asbestos survey or review of existing reports. This allows us to identify asbestos‑containing materials (ACMs) and assess the safest removal strategy.
2. Quotation & Work Plan Approval
You’ll receive a transparent quotation and a clear project plan outlining the scope, methods, and timescales. We’ll also handle all necessary notifications to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) before work begins.
3. Safe Asbestos Removal & Containment
Our licensed operatives carry out the removal using fully controlled conditions, negative‑pressure enclosures, and specialist PPE. All work is performed in line with current asbestos regulations and site‑specific risk assessments.
4. Waste Collection & Disposal
All asbestos waste is double‑bagged, labelled, and transported to licensed disposal facilities. We provide full documentation to confirm compliant disposal.
5. Clearance Testing & Certification
Independent analysts conduct air monitoring and four‑stage clearance testing to verify that the area is safe for reoccupation. You’ll receive a formal certificate of reoccupation on completion.
