West Coast Thermal also specializes in asbestos removal, containment and abatement. All our Management team, Supervisors and operatives have been involved within this very specialist industry for a number of years and are vastly experienced. One of our greatest strengths is that all three directors of the company have all stripped asbestos in the past and have attained qualifications as Asbestos Operatives, Asbestos Supervisors and Asbestos Management, therefore we do know about all the difficulties and complexities of the Asbestos Industry.
West Coast Thermal applies the most effective techniques for asbestos removal, supported by detailed method statements and risk assessments which are designed to promote best practice and safety at all times.
All projects are compliant within current Asbestos legislation, approved Codes of Practice and HSE guidance brochures. We have regular site audits which ensure that all quality control procedures are maintained by both internal vetting procedures and external independent organizations.

West Coast Thermal’s approach to asbestos removal and disposal is designed to cause the least amount of disturbance and disruption to the client. There are many challenging working environments such as Working at Height where the use of asbestos has been prevalent, e.g. roofs, but we follow best techniques such as the use of scissor lifts where possible and all our workforce have been fully trained to use all working at height equipment. Our Management team will liaise at all times with the client in order to minimize any inconvenience to the client’s workforce and the general public.
Our quality assurance is recognized through the number of “blue chip” long term clients for whom we continue to serve such as Cumbria County Council, local health authorities and housing associations as well as heating engineering companies and industry.
