FORD ENVIRONMENTAL
Professional asbestos sampling, surveying, non-licensed removal and associated environmental services delivered nationwide across the UK.
CONTROLLED. PROFESSIONAL.
Every project is assessed individually so the appropriate working methods, controls and safety procedures can be established before work begins.
CORE SERVICES
IDENTIFICATION
Representative samples can be taken from suspected asbestos-containing materials to help establish exactly what material is present.
Samples are prepared for analysis through an appropriate laboratory so informed decisions can be made before disturbance or removal takes place.
INSPECTION
Inspection and assessment of properties, structures and building materials to identify suspected asbestos-containing materials.
The findings help establish the location, condition and appropriate next steps for any suspected or confirmed asbestos materials.
REMOVAL
Controlled removal of suitable asbestos-containing materials where the proposed work falls within the applicable requirements for non-licensed asbestos work.
Every job is assessed before work begins so the correct controls, PPE, working methods and waste arrangements can be established.
ASBESTOS CEMENT
Removal of suitable asbestos cement products such as roofing sheets, garages, sheds, outbuildings, wall panels and other cement-based products.
Materials are handled using controlled working methods designed to minimise breakage and fibre release.
TEXTURED COATINGS
Assessment and controlled works involving suitable asbestos-containing textured coatings where the proposed method falls within applicable non-licensed requirements.
The condition, quantity and proposed removal method are considered before work proceeds.
FLOORING
Controlled removal of suitable asbestos-containing thermoplastic floor tiles and associated flooring materials.
Associated bitumen adhesive and residues can also be assessed as part of the planned works.
MANAGEMENT
Removal is not always the only appropriate option. Suitable asbestos-containing materials may sometimes be managed through controlled encapsulation or other making-safe measures.
The correct approach depends on material type, condition, location and the planned use of the area.
WASTE
Asbestos waste requires controlled containment, handling and disposal arrangements.
Ford Environmental can arrange the appropriate packaging, handling and authorised disposal route associated with the works undertaken.
GUIDANCE
If you have discovered a suspicious material and are unsure what to do next, Ford Environmental can help establish the appropriate course of action.
The priority is to understand the material before unnecessary disturbance takes place.
WORK ENVIRONMENTS
RESIDENTIAL
Suitable asbestos works within homes, garages, sheds, outbuildings, extensions and other domestic properties.
COMMERCIAL
Planned asbestos works within offices, shops, commercial premises, managed properties and other business environments.
INDUSTRIAL
Suitable non-licensed asbestos works within industrial units, workshops, warehouses and other operational environments.
IMPORTANT
Some asbestos work that does not require an asbestos removal licence may still fall within the requirements for Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW).
The material, condition, task and proposed working method must be considered before the correct classification and controls can be established.
