Are asbestos soffits usually AIB or cement?
Both asbestos insulation board and asbestos cement were used for soffits. The survey must identify the material because the required controls can be very different.
Does AIB soffit removal require a licensed contractor?
AIB is a higher-risk asbestos material and removal commonly requires an HSE-licensed contractor. The survey, condition and work method must be reviewed.
Can you remove soffits from flats or commercial buildings?
Yes, enquiries can cover houses, blocks of flats, managed estates and commercial buildings. Access height and the length of the soffit run affect the plan and quote.
What should I send for an AIB soffit quote?
Send the full survey finding, building postcode, wide and close photographs, approximate length, storey height and access information.
Can AIB soffits be removed before new fascias are fitted?
Yes, the asbestos removal can be planned before roofline replacement. The sequence, access and separation between asbestos work and the follow-on contractor must be agreed first.
Will scaffolding or a platform be needed?
That depends on the building height, ground conditions, soffit position and length of the run. Send wide photographs so safe access can be considered in the quote.
What happens after licensed AIB soffit removal?
The required completion and clearance process depends on the licensed plan of work. The replacement contractor should not begin until the affected area has been released as required.
