Asbestos Removal (Abatement)
Safe, controlled removal of asbestos roofing sheets and related materials with strict containment, dust suppression, and contamination prevention protocols. ASBE Contractors Limited specialises in the safe extraction of asbestos-containing materials from residential, commercial, and institutional properties across Kenya.
Our certified abatement teams follow internationally recognised removal procedures, ensuring zero exposure to workers, occupants, and surrounding communities. Every removal project is executed under NEMA and DOSHS oversight for full regulatory compliance.
Why Safe Removal Matters
Deteriorating or improperly disturbed asbestos releases microscopic fibres invisible to the naked eye. When inhaled, these fibres cause life-threatening diseases that can take decades to develop:
Mesothelioma — a deadly and incurable cancer of the lung lining
Asbestosis — irreversible and progressive scarring of lung tissue
Lung cancer linked directly to prolonged asbestos fibre inhalation
Serious legal liability for property owners who fail to act
Ongoing health risks to workers, occupants, and surrounding communities
Property devaluation and costly remediation if left unaddressed
Asbestos Removal Process
1. Site Assessment & Planning
Pre-removal risk assessment, method statement preparation, and site mobilisation with all required safety equipment
2. Area Isolation & Access Control
Full containment of the work zone using heavy-duty plastic sheeting, warning barriers, and restricted access controls
3. Dust Suppression & Air Monitoring
Wet suppression systems deployed and HEPA air filtration units activated; continuous real-time air monitoring begins
4. Safe Sheet Removal & Handling
Asbestos sheets carefully removed whole where possible to minimise breakage; all materials handled using prescribed safe techniques
5. Sealing, Packaging & Labelling
All removed materials double-bagged, properly labelled, and sealed in NEMA-approved rigid containers immediately on removal
6. Site Clearance & Final Inspection
Post-removal clearance inspection and independent air quality testing conducted before the site is handed back
What's included
Pre-Removal Risk Assessment
A thorough site evaluation and method statement prepared before any work begins, identifying all risks and establishing the safest removal approach for your specific property.
Full Work Zone Isolation & Containment
Complete sealing of the work area using heavy-duty polythene sheeting, negative air pressure units, and access control barriers to prevent any fibres from escaping the removal zone.
Dust Suppression & HEPA Air Filtration
Wet suppression systems and high-efficiency air filtration units deployed throughout the removal to capture airborne fibres and maintain safe air quality on and around the site.
Certified PPE for All Site Personnel
Full personal protective equipment provided for every team member on site — Type 5/6 protective suits, P3 respirators, safety goggles, hard hats, and heavy-duty nitrile gloves.
Safe Removal of All Asbestos-Containing Materials
All asbestos roofing sheets and related materials carefully extracted using NEMA-approved techniques designed to minimise breakage and fibre release throughout the process.
NEMA-Compliant Packaging & Waste Documentation
All removed materials double-bagged, labelled, sealed in rigid approved containers, and fully documented — ready for compliant transportation to licensed disposal facilities.
Continuous Air Monitoring & Clearance Testing
Real-time air quality monitoring throughout removal, followed by independent post-removal clearance testing to confirm safe fibre levels before the site is handed back.
Full Compliance Documentation & Handover Report
Complete project documentation including risk assessments, method statements, air monitoring records, and a signed clearance certificate confirming the site is safe for re-entry.
