Greenair Environmental provide a range of asbestos removal, surveying and asbestos testing services in Scotland, England, and Wales

The three categories of asbestos removal provided by Greenair include licensed asbestos removal, non-licensed asbestos removal, and notifiable non-licensed asbestos removal work. The type of asbestos removal you require is based on a number of factors relating to the exposure, the type of work being carried out and how friable the asbestos waste material is.

Licensed Asbestos Removal

Certain asbestos-containing material work requires a licensed asbestos contractor. The decision as to whether a job requires a license or not is based on the type of asbestos, condition, and quantity.
​

What is the process for Licensable Asbestos Removal?

  • Licensed asbestos removal requires a 14-day notification to the HSE prior to removal works.
  • A licensed asbestoc removal comanyis required when the levels of asbestos are likely to exceed 0.1 asbestos fibres per cubic cm (0.1f/cm3).
  • Licensed asbestos removal requires air monitoring by an independent analyst.

Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal

This is most common for domestic projects as they often meet criteria which are exempt from requiring an asbestos license. For example, the intensity and frequency of asbestos exposure.
​

What is the process for Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal?

  • Common products include cement roof sheets, Artex finishes, thermoplastic vinyl floor tiles, water tanks and electrical flash guards.
  • The asbestos-containing material should still be in good condition.
  • Does not require a 14-day notification period to HSE.​

Notifiable Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal

If the work is exempt from the need for an asbestos license, the next step is to establish whether or not the work is notifiable non-licensed asbestos removal.
​

What are the key factors to consider when deciding this?

  • The type of work that is being carried out e.g. is it maintenance or asbestos encapsulation?
  • How friable (less likely to release asbestos fibres) is the asbestos-containing material, the more friable the more likely it is to be notifiable non-licensed work.
  • The condition of the material e.g. whether or not it is damaged and whether or not the matrix will be destroyed.
