HSE License renewal

We are thrilled to announce we have just received confirmation of our new HSE License which is valid for 3 years! This is the maximum term they offer, so this is great news and proves the quality of our company’s standards towards safe asbestos removal procedures.

New licensing procedure

Well done to the whole team who was involved in the new licensing procedure which changed this year to be all electronic submission, it was a brand new process that we had to navigate.

In the past, applications for licenses have always been determined mainly by an office-based visit of HSE inspectors, where they ask you for evidence and you provide what they require / answer their questions there and then.

This new system means all evidence must be submit along with a written application document, with multiple sections with different questions you have to relate back to and answer with sufficient evidence in the form of email attachments. This meant a lot more preparation was needed in order to gather all of this information and send it off all together, so we are happy we have done this to a good standard and have received very positive comments about our application.

New HSE License valid until September 2022

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many types of asbestos are there?

Asbestos has two sub-categories; Serpentine and Amphibole, defined by their difference in fibre qualities. In the Serpentine category is Chrysotile (also known as White asbestos) with S-shaped fibres. In the Amphibole category is; Crocidolite (Blue asbestos), Amosite (Brown asbestos) and also lesser-known Anthophyllite, Tremolite and Actinolite, all with straight fibres.

Q: Why do some works have to be notified to the HSE?

In order to protect all members of the public from any unnecessary asbestos fibre exposure, the HSE requires certain types of works to be notified to them at least 14 days in advance in order to regulate and control the removal procedures. These types of works include certain fibres and ACM’s, and these works may only be done by licensed contractors. For more about the HSE process, head to their website.

Q: How long will it take for you to remove asbestos?

Each case is treated as an individual job, so the delivery time is dependant upon many factors. Our Contracts Managers will advise you of this at the quotation point. If the works are notifiable to the HSE, they will be subject to a minimum 14 day notification period, plus our in-house preparation.
