What is asbestos and why do I need asbestos removal services?
Owing to its well-known insulating properties and fire resistance, asbestos was frequently used in the construction sector before it was outlawed in 1999. However, when it was found that inhaling asbestos fibres leads to a number of serious health issues such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis, its usage was banned in many countries, including the UK.
If you suspect that your property contains any asbestos it is vital to have it assessed by an expert. DES Holdings are fully licenced and authorised to survey and assess as well as manage, encapsulate and offer complete asbestos removal services in Newcastle. Our asbestos removal engineers work in every sector from domestic and industrial to commercial and follow the regulations of the Control of Asbestos 2012 legislation. Our asbestos removal services in the Newcastle area include:
- Survey and testing
- Removal
- Management and encapsulation
- Disposal

Asbestos surveys for Newcastle buildings
With over 30 years of experience, DES Holdings is skilled at conducting asbestos surveys for both residential and commercial properties in Newcastle and the surrounding areas. Every type of treatment, including surveys, encapsulation, and asbestos removal is covered. In addition, DES Holdings provides asbestos removal services throughout the UK. The collection and testing of samples is the first step in a professional asbestos survey.
After the asbestos survey is finished, DES Holdings will know which method of managing the asbestos is best—removal or encapsulation. For your Newcastle property, our accredited staff can perform a complete asbestos removal service. All dangerous materials will be removed and disposed of securely, accurately, and in accordance with regulations, thanks to our professional UK asbestos removal services, delivered with speed and efficiency.
Asbestos surveys for Bristol properties
Finding out whether a property has an asbestos problem and how much asbestos-containing material (ACM) is present is the goal of an asbestos management survey. We perform asbestos inspections for leaseholders, freeholders, and commercial and industrial premises in Ipswich.
Our asbestos surveys are fully compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, Part 2, Regulation 4, ‘duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises’. Those in charge of managing a property have a duty to actively seek out any ACM that may be present and to safely deal with any issues in the interests of public health.
Where necessary, this survey also endeavours to ensure that nobody mistakenly disturbs asbestos, that the ACM encapsulation is maintained in top condition, and that no one is adversely affected by prolonged ACM presence.
High-quality removal and disposal of all types of asbestos in Newcastle
Three different forms of asbestos can be found in the UK:
- Blue (crocidolite)
- White (chrysotile)
- Brown (amosite)
When people are exposed to asbestos it has been shown to cause illnesses such as lung cancers and lung disease, and mesothelioma amongst others. It is believed to cause over 5000 fatalities every year. For this reason, asbestos needs to be removed and contained securely by a professional.
DES Holdings is accredited and licenced to properly remove and dispose of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The asbestos materials have to be wrapped or double-bagged and enclosed in an asbestos skip or taken to a licenced landfill for disposal. Unauthorised disposal of asbestos can result in a fine or even a prison sentence.
If the results of the asbestos survey on your Newcastle property indicate that you don’t need asbestos removal but rather our encapsulation services, we are licensed to provide them and can ensure everyone’s safety while we do so. If the asbestos can be kept undisturbed to prevent any harm to human health or the environment, then encapsulation – keeping it enclosed and under regular monitoring – is frequently a cheaper alternative to complete removal of the asbestos.
After your asbestos survey is completed, we can advise you in choosing the best course of action, whether your Newcastle building requires encapsulation or removal services.
