PROJECT
As part of the Government’s Energy Companies’ Obligation Scheme, our Client was intending to have her roof insulated by British Gas. The discovery of suspected asbestos materials within the loft had put the project on hold.
Results of an asbestos sample taken by Amiante STR proved positive for asbestos cement.
Mrs D was very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the surveyor and she gave Amiante STR the opportunity to quote for the removal works.
Having successfully carried out and completed the works, Mrs D was able to have her loft insulated for free.

recommend this company and I
would just like to say that the

FEEDBACK
P E T EPeople, Environment, Tools and Exposure
PETE represents a process encompassing Health & Safety, risk assessment and project management. PETE assists in ensuring that all aspects of a project are managed safely.Below are a few of the PETE considerations taken into account on this project.
[This PETE is all of the people involved above who must have asbestos awareness training to ensure they are legally compliant for controlling the risks to People, Environment, Tools and Exposure].
• Occupation of Premises - The environment our operatives were working within remained occupied by the Client,
therefore extra care was taken in making the Client feel safe and comfortable with the asbestos removal works
taking place.[This PETE represents the safe removal of asbestos materials in compliance with current legislation and is also our reminder to assess all of the risks to our own staff of People, Environment, Tools and Exposure and not just the asbestos risk].
• Working at Height - Our operatives had to take into consideration that this work was carried out at height.
[This PETE is where those planning a project ask about the impact of People, Environment, Tools and Exposure to the project. Includes
Client discussions, site surveying, estimating or consultancy].
• Adequate Lighting – A site visit was carried out prior to works starting to assess the lighting requirements within
the loft spaces to ensure safe working.
• Crawling Boards - The site visit also determined that the use of crawling boards were required. Prevention of accidents through risk assessment and careful planning is essential.
