Housing & Social Housing
Asbestos services for housing associations, councils and contractors, from individual properties and voids to planned maintenance, refurbishment and multi-property programmes.
What We Do
Housing asbestos programmes require a contractor capable of combining technical compliance with efficient delivery across occupied homes, void properties and wider estates.
HB Insulations works with housing associations, local authorities, property managers, maintenance contractors and principal contractors to deliver asbestos services ranging from individual properties to planned multi-property programmes.
Asbestos can be encountered during routine repairs, void works, kitchen and bathroom replacements, roofing programmes, heating upgrades, planned maintenance and major estate refurbishment.
The requirements can vary considerably from one property to another. Some works may involve relatively straightforward non-licensed asbestos materials. Others can identify higher-risk ACMs requiring an HSE-licensed contractor.
Because HB undertakes both licensed and non-licensed asbestos work, clients have one specialist contractor capable of responding appropriately as requirements change.
Planning Around Occupied Environments
Our services can include surveys and sampling, planned removal, licensed asbestos work, encapsulation, decontamination, emergency response, waste management and technical advice.
For occupied properties, careful communication and control of the work area are essential. Residents need to understand what is happening while the asbestos programme still needs to meet the requirements of the wider maintenance or refurbishment works.
For portfolio and programme work, consistency is equally important. HB can work with clients to establish agreed approaches, reporting, documentation and delivery arrangements across multiple locations.
