Asbestos Management & Removal Services

Asbestos remains present in thousands of commercial, industrial and public-sector buildings across the UK. Effective asbestos management is not optional — it is a legal duty.

At Calcon, we provide structured, compliant asbestos management and removal services designed to protect building occupants, contractors and duty holders. Our approach is risk-led, fully aligned with UK legislation, and embedded within a wider Facilities Management strategy to ensure long-term compliance and asset protection.

We support property owners, managing agents and duty holders in meeting their statutory obligations while minimising disruption to business operations.

Asbestos Surveys

We carry out comprehensive asbestos surveys in accordance with HSE guidance (HSG264).

Survey types include:

  • Management Surveys

  • Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys

Our surveys identify the presence, location and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), providing clear reporting, risk assessments and photographic evidence.

This forms the foundation of any compliant asbestos management strategy.

Asbestos Management Plans

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, duty holders must actively manage asbestos in non-domestic premises.

We develop and maintain structured asbestos management plans which include:

  • Asbestos register creation and updates

  • Risk assessments

  • Recommended control measures

  • Reinspection schedules

  • Contractor communication protocols

Our management plans are practical, audit-ready and designed to integrate with your wider compliance documentation.

Asbestos Removal

Where removal is required, works are carried out by appropriately licensed and competent specialists in accordance with HSE requirements.

Removal services include:

  • Licensed asbestos removal

  • Notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW)

  • Safe containment and disposal

  • Four-stage clearance procedures

  • Certification of reoccupation

All works are fully controlled, documented and carried out with strict adherence to health and safety legislation

Full Asbestos Roof Replacements

Many industrial and commercial properties still contain asbestos cement roofing.

We provide:

  • Safe removal of asbestos cement sheets

  • Structural assessment (where required)

  • Full roof replacement solutions

  • Upgrades to modern, compliant roofing systems

This allows clients to not only eliminate asbestos risk, but also improve thermal performance, weatherproofing and asset longevity.

Remedial Works 

Where removal is not immediately required, remedial actions may be implemented to control risk.

Remedial services include:

  • Encapsulation

  • Sealing and labelling

  • Minor repair works

  • Controlled containment

These measures reduce exposure risk while supporting a managed, long-term FM strategy.

Asbestos Air Testing & Monitoring

Air monitoring and reassurance testing are critical components of compliant asbestos works.

We arrange and coordinate:

  • Background air testing

  • Leak testing

  • Personal monitoring

  • Four-stage clearance air testing

  • Certification of reoccupation

This ensures environments are safe for reoccupation and provides documented compliance evidence.

Working on Live Asbestos 

In operational buildings, asbestos cannot always be removed immediately.

We implement strict control procedures when working in environments containing known ACMs, including:

  • Permit-to-work systems

  • Contractor asbestos awareness verification

  • Controlled access zones

  • Method statements and risk assessments

  • Ongoing monitoring

This allows essential maintenance and FM works to continue safely without breaching compliance obligations.

Compliance & Legal Responsibilities

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, duty holders (including landlords, managing agents and employers) are legally responsible for:

  • Identifying asbestos in non-domestic premises

  • Maintaining an up-to-date asbestos register

  • Assessing and managing risk

  • Informing contractors of asbestos presence

  • Preventing exposure

Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, unlimited fines and criminal prosecution.

Calcon supports clients in meeting these obligations proactively, reducing risk exposure and protecting both people and reputation.

Planned vs Reactive Approach

A reactive response to asbestos often leads to project delays, emergency closures and unplanned expenditure.

Our FM-led approach focuses on:

  • Proactive surveying

  • Risk-based planning

  • Lifecycle budgeting

  • Coordinated removal during refurbishment cycles

This reduces disruption and ensures asbestos management becomes part of your long-term asset strategy — not a last-minute compliance issue.

Why Choose Calcon

  • Compliance-driven service delivery

  • Structured reporting and documentation

  • Integrated FM support

  • Minimal disruption planning

  • Clear communication with duty holders and stakeholders

We do not treat asbestos as a standalone issue — we manage it as part of a wider facilities risk framework.
