Pre-demolition asbestos removal is a critical stage in preparing any building or structure for safe demolition or major refurbishment. Before any structural works begin, all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) must be identified and safely removed by a licensed contractor — a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

HAR Ltd. holds full HSE licensing for asbestos removal and has been delivering pre-demolition asbestos services since 1985. Our experienced team works closely with duty-holders, demolition contractors and principal contractors to ensure all ACMs are removed, disposed of correctly and fully documented before your project moves forward.

Our pre-demolition service includes a thorough review of existing asbestos surveys and project information, careful planning and phasing of works to fit your demolition programme, and the establishment of controlled work areas, enclosures and decontamination units. We carry out licensed removal of all high-risk ACMs including insulation, lagging and asbestos insulating board, and coordinate with independent analysts for air testing and four-stage clearance. Full waste consignment documentation and final reports are provided for your records.

By instructing HAR Ltd. at the pre-demolition stage, you reduce risk, avoid costly programme delays and maintain full compliance with HSE expectations from the outset.
