Commercial asbestos collection & disposal

We collect asbestos cement sheets, asbestos insulating board, pipe lagging, and floor and ceiling tiles from commercial and industrial sites. If you are not sure whether a material contains asbestos, tell us what it is and where it came from and we will advise on analysis before anything is moved.

Asbestos waste is classed as hazardous waste. It has to be sealed and labelled, carried by a registered waste carrier under the rules for dangerous goods, and taken to a facility permitted to accept it. Every load we collect travels with a hazardous waste consignment note, so there is a record from your site to final disposal.

Yes. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, work with higher risk materials such as pipe lagging and asbestos insulating board is licensable, while lower risk materials such as asbestos cement fall under non-licensable work. Both must be packaged, transported and disposed of as hazardous waste. Tell us what you have and we will confirm how it needs to be handled.

Asbestos waste has to be sealed in suitable packaging, normally double wrapped or double bagged, and clearly labelled before it is transported. This is done by whoever removes the asbestos, before we collect it. Do not break up sheets or boards to make them fit, as that releases fibres. If you are not sure the waste is packaged correctly, tell us when you book.

A hazardous waste consignment note is completed for every collection and you receive a copy for your records. It shows what was collected, who carried it and where it went. Keep it for three years, as it is your evidence that the waste was disposed of legally.

We are based in Heswall on the Wirral and collect asbestos waste across Liverpool, Manchester and the wider North West. Call 0151 364 5490 to check your location and arrange a collection.
