Asbestos removal
SBSS are UKATA (UK Asbestos Training Association) and BOHS (British Occupational Hygiene Society) certified contractors – qualified to safely survey, inspect, analyse and remove all forms of non-licensed asbestos. Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in UK buildings for decades because they’re strong, fire-resistant and good for insulation. You’ll most commonly find asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in properties built or refurbished before the UK ban in 1999.
When you hire SBSS, you’re hiring trained and certified operatives who understand asbestos risks and the controls needed to keep everyone safe.
- UKATA (UK Asbestos Training Association) certification shows that our team have completed recognised asbestos training and understand safe working practices, including how to prevent exposure and contamination.
- BOHS (British Occupational Hygiene Society) qualifications are widely respected in the industry and demonstrate a higher level of competence in asbestos-related practice, including health protection, hazard control and professional standards
Using a competent asbestos removal contractor isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about protecting people, property and reputations. Whether you’re preparing for renovation, repairing damage, or improving safety compliance, professional removal ensures the work is carried out safely, responsibly and legally.
