At Chrysotile Asbestos Removal, we provide fully licensed chrysotile asbestos removal services for properties and across the UK, ensuring the safe management of asbestos fibres, asbestos materials, and asbestos cement products that may pose serious health risks.

Our team operates in line with UKAS and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements, ensuring that chrysotile asbestos is removed safely in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We manage every stage of the process, from initial site preparation through to complete removal and lawful asbestos waste disposal, leaving your property ready for reoccupation or further works.

When Is Chrysotile Asbestos Removal Required?

Chrysotile asbestos removal is necessary whenever building materials containing hazardous chrysotile fibers are damaged, deteriorating, or likely to be disturbed during construction or maintenance works.

This requirement falls under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, especially for high-risk ACMs such as asbestos insulation board, pipe lagging, and sprayed coatings. Duty holders, contractors, and property managers must ensure that removal is performed by a licensed contractor to protect people, prevent asbestos exposure, and comply with legal standards.

Which Projects Require Licensed Chrysotile Asbestos Removal?

Projects that require licensed chrysotile asbestos removal include:

• Asbestos insulation board (AIB) removal – Ceiling panels, walls, wall linings, or partitions containing chrysotile.
• Pipe lagging removal – Asbestos insulation on heating or water systems.
• Sprayed coating removal – Chrysotile-based insulation or fireproofing applied to structural steel or ceilings.
• Commercial properties – Offices, retail units, and mixed-use buildings containing licensed chrysotile ACMs.
• Industrial premises – Factories, warehouses, and plant rooms where asbestos enclosures are present.
• Demolition works – Sites being demolished after identification of chrysotile asbestos, amosite, or crocidolite (blue asbestos).
• Small-scale licensed works – Even minor projects in domestic or commercial settings involving chrysotile require proper licensing and risk assessment.

How Much Does Chrysotile Asbestos Removal Cost Across Area?

The costs of chrysotile asbestos removal range from £450 to over £750 + VAT, depending on the amount, the size of the area, ease of access, type of ACM, and urgency of the works.

Pricing is affected by the complexity of the project, the number of areas requiring removal, the need for additional air monitoring, and whether the premises are residential, commercial, or industrial.

What Is Involved in the Chrysotile Asbestos Removal Process?

The chrysotile asbestos removal process starts with an initial survey and assessment to confirm the type and condition of ACMs. Once identified, the work area is sealed off using specialist containment procedures and enclosures with negative pressure systems to control airborne fibers.

The ACMs are removed using controlled procedures and encapsulation where required to minimise disturbance and airborne contamination. Continuous air monitoring ensures air quality and safe fibre levels during the project.

Following removal, thorough decontamination is carried out to clean all surfaces, including floor tiles and paints, removing debris and dust. A final inspection, with all samples, reports, and documentation, confirms the site meets safety standards and is fit for reoccupation.

Who Can Legally Carry Out Chrysotile Asbestos Removal?

Only licensed asbestos removal contractors, accredited by UKAS or holding an HSE licence, are permitted to carry out chrysotile asbestos removal.

Our teams are fully trained, use protective gear, respirators, and PPE, and operate independently from asbestos testing services to maintain compliance with legal rules and laws.

How Is Air Quality Ensured During and After Chrysotile Asbestos Removal?

Air monitoring during chrysotile asbestos removal is performed using calibrated pumps and UKAS-approved fibre-counting methods.

The legal safety threshold is 0.01 fibres per cubic centimetre (f/cm³). If readings exceed this limit, additional cleaning and retesting are conducted before the area is deemed safe for use. This process helps prevent lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma, diseases caused by inhaling this carcinogen that affects the lungs.

Can Chrysotile Asbestos Removal Be Done the Same Day as Discovery?

n many situations, chrysotile asbestos removal can be arranged on the same day as discovery, provided a licensed team is available and all safety protocols are in place.

We offer flexible scheduling, including early morning, evening, and emergency call-out services, to reduce project delays and help homeowners and professionals manage risks efficiently.

What Equipment and Safety Measures Are Used During Chrysotile Asbestos Removal?

Our chrysotile asbestos removal teams use:

• Negative pressure units – Maintain safe airflow within sealed work zones.
• Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) air testing units – Monitor airborne asbestos fibres.
• Smoke testing equipment – Verify enclosure integrity before removal begins.
• High-powered lighting – Detect residual asbestos debris in hard-to-see areas.
• Specialist PPE and respirators – Provide full protective gear for workers.
• Calibrated pumps – Maintain accurate air sampling during monitoring.
• Regular equipment calibration – Ensure ongoing compliance with safety standards.

Is a Clearance Certificate Issued After Chrysotile Asbestos Removal?

Once chrysotile asbestos removal is completed and all safety inspections and air tests have been passed, we issue a Certificate of Reoccupation.

This certificate confirms the property is safe for entry without restrictions and serves as essential documentation for compliance, insurance, and project sign-off. It also provides guidance and details for future management and mitigation strategies to avoid future dangers or exposure incidents.
