Industrial Asbestos Removal Specialists for St Helens

BLS Asbestos specialise in the removal of asbestos from industrial and commercial settings and have over 20 years experience of contracting as asbestos removal specialists.

If you suspect that you have asbestos in or around your property in St Helens then contact one of asbestos specialists who will arrange for an asbestos survey to be carried out as soon as possible.

What does asbestos look like?

We are able to work on both licensable and non-licensable asbestos across the UK.

Licensable asbestos is high risk asbestos that must be worked on by a licensed contractor like ourselves (read more about our license to work with asbestos for the purpose of removal and our license to transport hazardous waste for disposal here).

Examples of what licensable asbestos could include -

• Pipe lagging - used to insulate pipes and boilers
• Loose fill insulation
• Asbestos millboard
• Asbestos insulation board (AIB)

Any work involved in removing asbestos should be carried out by a licensed asbestos contractor, although there is non-licensable asbestos removal work that can be carried out on products and environments that have a low intensity of asbestos within the air (below 0.6f/cm3 measured over 10 minutes). Some non-licensable asbestos products include -

• Asbestos cement - such as tiles, guttering and roof sheeting
• Asbestos rope
• Asbestos gaskets

The HSE has a useful page highlighting common asbestos containing materials. However, if you suspect that you have asbestos in or around your property in St Helens or would like more information about what it looks like then get in touch with us and we can provide an asbestos survey to determine the level of asbestos in your property before executing an asbestos removal project.
