Don’t look any further for industry-leading expertise in asbestos-contaminated land
As an individual or a decision-maker for an organisation in London, you may be responsible for land, soil, or construction waste that you already know contains asbestos fibres. If so, you might be anxious to ensure it is managed in a safe and legally compliant way.
Another possibility is that you merely suspect asbestos could be present in your soil or land, but you require professional confirmation of this. Such knowledge will allow you to take informed steps to deal with the now-banned mineral.
Whatever the situation, Oracle Solutions is a widely trusted, “go-to” provider of asbestos services in relation to soil and land. These services encompass the likes of asbestos in soil testing, WAC testing, and the removal of asbestos-contaminated soil or waste.
Whether the site of concern is in central London, North London, West London, East London, or South London, you will be able to have your needs catered for by the best-qualified people.
Land being contaminated with asbestos can be a major problem in London
London is the thriving capital city of both England and the UK; it is also the biggest city in both countries, and is one of Western Europe’s cultural and economic epicentres.
A heaving metropolis that is endlessly stimulating and inspiring, London is also constantly changing, with old buildings regularly being renovated or demolished, and new buildings being erected.
On many “brownfield” sites within London, however, old buildings may have been demolished with asbestos still inside, thereby causing asbestos fibres to end up in the ground. But this isn’t only a brownfield problem, as even some “greenfield” sites can be contaminated with asbestos. This situation may arise if the given site was previously used for asbestos disposal activities.
If, then, you are reading this as a site manager or another stakeholder in certain land or soil, you can probably now understand just how easily a site can become contaminated with this lethal substance, almost anywhere in London.

Important things to know about asbestos-contaminated land or soil in London
Below, we have provided answers to some of the questions we most frequently receive about land, soil, or waste that may contain asbestos fibres, and how the associated risks should be dealt with. Contact us now for answers to any other queries you may have, or to obtain the best possible quote for the service you require.
If you suspect your London land or soil is contaminated with asbestos, what should you immediately do?
If you believe that any land, soil, or construction waste for which you have responsibility may contain asbestos, your initial priority will need to be determining whether asbestos is actually present. This is typically accomplished by arranging for a full asbestos contaminated land survey to be undertaken.
Such a survey will enable you to confirm not only whether asbestos exists in the soil, but if so, how deeply the asbestos is embedded, as well as the type(s) and quantity of asbestos.
What methods for used for investigating suspected asbestos-contaminated land?
Two types of site investigations are carried out by our well-qualified and experienced asbestos professionals on asbestos-contaminated land: asbestos in soil testing, and WAC testing.
In the event of deeper investigation of the given site being required, we are able to dig trenches, boreholes, or trial pits. We can arrange for samples to be taken from the site, with these then undergoing analysis at a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
If asbestos is found in land, soil, or waste, is there an automatic requirement to remove it?
Technically, if it is verified that asbestos does indeed exist in the given soil or land, it may not necessarily need to be removed. In practice, the now-outlawed mineral often is removed in such circumstances, but much will depend on the risk assessment carried out at the site.
It might be concluded from the risk assessment at the given location that the asbestos-contaminated soil can stay where it is. However, even in this scenario, a clean cover system may be introduced to help guard against any future disturbance of the asbestos.
In many other cases, the risk assessment will produce the conclusion that the risks are too severe for the contaminated soil to be left in situ. So, asbestos remediation measures may turn out to be necessary at the site.
