Asbestos may have been illegal to use in the UK since 1999, but it has not ceased to be a major concern in places like Skegness.

Indeed, the nationwide ban on asbestos did not include any automatic obligation to always remove asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from properties like those in the Lincolnshire seaside town. This means the individuals and entities with responsibility for such buildings must make judgement calls on how to manage the substance if it exists in their premises.

When it comes to all forms of asbestos removal, repair, and remediation, there is no need for property owners and managers in and around Skegness to look to any company other than Oracle Solutions. We are fully licensed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to carry out such works, while also holding impressive levels of certification and insurance.

The result is an asbestos removal service that is unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, efficiency, and safety. Indeed, you don’t need to merely have faith in what we are saying – our past customers have been vocal about what it is like to work with us.

Our Skegness asbestos removal professionals can help you fulfil your obligations

The town of Skegness is in so many ways, the archetypal English seaside holiday destination. Indeed, it was in this part of the East Midlands where the first Butlin’s holiday resort opened its doors in 1936. Meanwhile, the sandy beach, amusements arcades, and pier are just some of the attractions that retain their “old-time” charm.

Sadly, one thing from the past that isn’t so charming, but which remains very much with us, is asbestos. It is believed that as many as 1.5 million buildings across the UK could still contain asbestos. With Skegness being home to no shortage of properties dating to before the year 2000, the resort has its fair share of ACMs that require sensitive and skilled management.

This requirement isn’t merely for safety reasons, as critically important as those are. That’s because the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) also puts in place a “duty to manage” asbestos for individuals who are in charge of maintenance for non-domestic properties.

Such individuals – referred to as “dutyholders” – are obliged to identify asbestos risks at their site, and to develop and implement an asbestos management plan.

Over the course of this management process, it may become apparent that certain ACMs will need to be removed from the property. Such removal may be needed because the ACMs are severely damaged or deteriorated, or because they are in a part of the building where future disturbance is very likely.

Whatever the exact situation at your Skegness building, we would urge you to contact our licensed asbestos removal professionals for advice and assistance. If removal of the substance is indeed necessary, we will draw upon our in-depth resources and expertise to make sure the job is carried out to an industry-leading standard.

Important things to know about asbestos removal in Skegness and Lincolnshire

Asbestos removal, disposal, and remediation are subjects that can easily cause confusion among many property owners in the Skegness area. So, our team at Oracle Solutions has picked out and answered some of the questions we commonly receive about these specialised topics.

If you have any other queries, please reach out to our team directly.

Which would be the better option for the asbestos at my building – repair or removal?

In the event of asbestos being found in a part of your premises where the likelihood of future disturbance is quite high, you might consider having the given ACMs repaired or encapsulated, instead of removing them from the building altogether.

The decision that you make here will depend on the specifics of your situation. It can often, for example, be more cost-effective to have asbestos repaired as an alternative to removal. However, if this choice is made, it will be crucial to make sure adequate protection is given to the material to guard against the risk of damage.

The protection of in-situ asbestos can be achieved by, for example, covering the ACM with a metal panel, or installing purpose-built timber boxing. There are various possibilities, so please don’t hesitate to discuss with our operatives what the best solution could be for your site.

In certain circumstances, though – such as if the given ACMs are in especially poor condition, or the building is on the verge of being demolished or refurbished – you may ultimately need to have the substance removed.

Is it necessary to hold a HSE licence in order to work on asbestos materials?

Although there are some activities involving asbestos for which a HSE licence isn’t required, there are a lot of asbestos-related tasks that must be carried out by a licence holder.

Even if the particular asbestos work that you need to arrange isn’t classed as “licensed”, it will still need to be done in compliance with all asbestos regulations.

So, for your own peace of mind and assurance of the work being done in a manner adhering to legislation, you may choose to have your project carried out by a licensed asbestos removal company, regardless.

After all, the fact of a given contractor having been approved by the HSE for a licence, indicates it has satisfied certain standards set by the regulator.

With Oracle Solutions being fully licensed by the HSE to carry out all asbestos work – encompassing asbestos removal, remediation, disposal, and abatement – you can have the very greatest confidence when you choose us.

Does all asbestos need to be removed from my Skegness building?

The short answer to this question, is no. To give a longer explanation, you should only be looking to remove asbestos from your property if it is in a poor condition and cannot be made safe.

Such is the level of damage that some ACMs may sustain over time, having them repaired might not be a reasonable or practicable option. In some other situations, however – such as if the ACMs are in good condition or are in a low-risk part of the building – an alternative course of action may be taken, such as encapsulation.
