Expert Asbestos Removal Services by Amiante STR
Asbestos removal is a complex and highly regulated process that requires specialised expertise. At Amiante STR, we handle the safe extraction of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a wide range of environments, including homes, offices, factories, and public buildings. Our team is trained to the highest standards and we use advanced equipment to ensure no fibres are released during removal. Whether you’re dealing with asbestos in roofing, insulation, or pipe lagging, we deliver tailored solutions that prioritise safety, compliance, and minimal disruption to your daily operations.
What is Asbestos Removal?
Asbestos removal involves the safe identification, extraction, and disposal of ACMs from a property. This process is essential for buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000, as asbestos was commonly used in materials like ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and sprayed coatings for its fire-resistant properties. When these materials degrade or are disturbed during renovations, demolitions, or repairs, they release microscopic fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause severe health issues over time. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), licensed removal is mandatory for high-risk ACMs, such as sprayed coatings or lagging, and must be carried out by a licensed contractor like Amiante STR to ensure safety and compliance.

Our Asbestos Removal Process
Our removal process is designed to be thorough, safe, and compliant with UK regulations:
- Initial Assessment: Surveyors will conduct a detailed survey to identify ACMs, their condition, and the level of risk, ensuring we understand the scope of the project.
- Containment Setup: We create a sealed work area using plastic sheeting and negative pressure units to prevent fibre spread, protecting adjacent spaces.
- Safe Removal: Our operatives, wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) including RPE, carefully extract ACMs using methods like wet stripping to minimise dust.
- Decontamination: We clean the area thoroughly, using HEPA vacuums and decontamination units to ensure no fibres remain.
- Waste Disposal: All asbestos waste is double-bagged, labelled, and transported to licensed disposal facilities, with full documentation provided.
- Air Monitoring & Clearance: Contractors perform air testing and visual inspections to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation, issuing a clearance certificate.
This rigorous process ensures your property is asbestos-free and compliant with HSE standards.
