Mirfield Asbestos Removal Services
Industrial asbestos removal projects undertaken in Mirfield & West Yorkshire
Based only a few miles away in Liversedge, we have been removing industrial and commercial asbestos containing materials from Mirfield and surrounding areas for over 25 years.
BLS Asbestos Ltd are a licensed asbestos removal company that specialise in the removal of licensable asbestos from commercial and industrial locations. Some of the sectors we commonly remove asbestos from include -
Why would asbestos be in my property?
Asbestos isn't necessarily in your property, because it all depends when it was constructed or renovated.
Asbestos was used for decades in the UK construction sector and wasn't fully banned from use until 1999, which is why the HSE states for properties that were built or renovated before the year 2000 -
...people who work in older buildings could still be exposed to asbestos fibres today if asbestos is not managed effectively, and is damaged or disturbed.
Buildings constructed after 2000 are unlikely to contain asbestos.
When we carry out asbestos surveys for customers, to determine if asbestos containing materials are in or around their property, we regularly come across it in areas such as -
- Asbestos cement, which can be found on chimney flues, guttering, downpipes and panels.
- Lagging, which was commonly used as insulation on boilers and pipes.
- Loose fill insulation.
- Floor tiles
- Asbestos insulation board (AIB), commonly used on partition walls, ceiling tiles and as panels in fire doors.
The above list just provides a few examples, to highlight how widespread asbestos containing materials can be across a property. The HSE has a very comprehensive diagram that helps display industrial asbestos use.
What are our licenses and certifications to remove asbestos legally in the UK?
We hold the following two licenses, which enable us to legally remove licensable asbestos in the UK -
- A 3-year licence (expires 9 September 2028) granted by the Health and Safety Executive to work with asbestos insulation and asbestos insulation board for the purpose of removal (licence number 991904287).
- A licence to transport hazardous waste, awarded by the Environment Agency, which allows us to safely transport and dispose of the asbestos once removed. Our Waste Carriers Registration Number is CBDU180277.
In addition, we also hold ISO Management Systems certifications from Alcumus ISOQAR, which can all be downloaded.
Health and safety is at the forefront of our operation, due to the dangers posed from working with asbestos. Because of this, we take regular guidance from the following bodies -
