Asbestos Removal Dublin - Licensed HSA Specialists

Asbestos refers to naturally occurring mineral fibres extensively used in Dublin construction materials from the 1960s through late 1990s—particularly common in older Dublin properties throughout the capital. When these fibres are disturbed during renovation or demolition, they become airborne and pose severe health risks including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Professional surveying by HSA-licensed specialists is essential before any work on properties built before 2000.

Absolutely. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) mandates proper licensing and certification for all asbestos removal work in Dublin and throughout Ireland. Licensed specialists must adhere to stringent safety protocols, EPA disposal regulations, and workplace safety legislation. DIY removal is not only extremely hazardous but also illegal for commercial premises. Always verify your contractor holds current HSA approval and comprehensive insurance.

Project costs vary based on asbestos type, material quantity, and access complexity at your Dublin property. Residential jobs (terraced houses in Ballymount, period buildings in the city centre, apartments in Clondalkin) differ significantly from commercial work (office blocks, industrial warehouses in Dublin 12). We provide free site assessments across all Dublin areas with fixed-price quotes—no hidden fees for difficult access properties or protected structures requiring Dublin City Council approval.

Residential projects—such as terraced houses in Ballymount or apartments in the city centre—typically take 1-3 days from start to finish. This timeframe includes containment setup, safe extraction, air quality monitoring, and final site clearance. Larger commercial buildings or industrial facilities in Dublin 12, Tallaght, or other Dublin areas may require extended timelines. We provide precise scheduling during your free consultation to minimise property disruption.

We deliver fully licensed asbestos survey, testing, removal, and disposal services across the entire Dublin region. Our coverage includes all postal districts—from Dublin 12 (our base), city centre districts, and south suburbs (Ballymount, Clondalkin, Tallaght, Rathfarnham, Dundrum) to north areas (Blanchardstown, Swords, Malahide, Santry, Ballymun). Emergency callouts are available with rapid 2-4 hour response throughout our Dublin service area.

Yes, we provide complimentary site assessments and no-obligation quotes for all Dublin properties. Our HSA-licensed surveyors will visit your location—whether in Dublin 12, city centre, Ballymount, Clondalkin, Tallaght, or any other Dublin area—to inspect suspected asbestos materials, assess risk levels, and provide detailed quotations. Laboratory testing fees may apply for material sampling and analysis, with results typically available within 48-72 hours.

Encapsulation is an HSA-approved alternative where asbestos materials—typically corrugated roof panels on Dublin commercial and industrial buildings—are sealed in-situ rather than extracted. Specialist contractors apply a polyurethane foam base layer followed by polyurea waterproof coating, creating a seamless, impermeable barrier with a 25-year service life. This approach eliminates fibre disturbance, costs 40-50% less than full removal, and permits continuous business operation during application—ideal for Dublin warehouses, factories, and retail premises.

Our HSA-licensed team follows strict protocols: site survey and risk assessment, containment zone setup with negative air pressure systems, safe extraction using specialised equipment, double-bagging in UN-approved containers, air quality monitoring throughout, thorough decontamination, final clearance testing, and EPA-compliant disposal at licensed facilities. You'll receive comprehensive documentation including consignment notes, waste transfer certificates, and clearance certificates required for property sales and Dublin City Council compliance.

We strongly advise vacating residential properties in Dublin for 24-48 hours during active removal work. This safety measure protects your family whilst allowing our licensed crew to operate efficiently. Work zones are completely sealed using negative air pressure systems, and we conduct comprehensive air quality testing before issuing clearance certificates. For commercial properties in Dublin's business districts, we can often isolate specific areas to minimise operational disruption. Your safety is our absolute priority.

All asbestos waste must be disposed of at EPA-licensed hazardous waste facilities—DIY disposal is illegal and extremely dangerous. Our licensed service includes secure double-bagging in UN-approved containers, compliant transport with hazardous waste carriers, disposal at approved Irish facilities, and complete documentation (consignment notes, waste transfer certificates) required for Dublin City Council records and property transactions. We handle every aspect of safe, legal disposal throughout Dublin and Ireland.
