Trusted by clients across the South
“Calm, professional and spotless. They surveyed our school, explained the findings in plain English and removed everything without disrupting a single lesson.”
“From the first call to the clearance certificate, ACL kept us informed at every step. Exactly what you want from a regulated contractor.”
“They handled our garage roof in a single morning. Tidy, polite and everything documented. I had the clearance certificate the same day.”
“A phased programme across our housing stock, managed without fuss. Clear reports, sensible scheduling and no surprises on cost.”

Not always. Some lower-risk materials are non-licensed work, but higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging and insulation board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you which applies and never over-scope the job.
We hold a 24-hour emergency line and aim to respond rapidly across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire. Call us and we’ll advise on the safe immediate steps while we arrange attendance.
Yes. Licensed removals end with independent air testing and a clearance certificate. Surveys come with a clear asbestos register and report you can hand straight to building control or your dutyholder.
We do. The same licensed standards apply whether it’s a single garage roof or a phased programme across an NHS estate or housing portfolio.
