“The thought of asbestos training didn’t fill me with excitement. After doing the course I have to say, I was thoroughly entertained and I have learnt so much more about a subject I thought I knew. I will be sending my whole team along over the next few months”

Alan Davies – Managing Director – WINNS Services

What should do first if you think you have asbestos contaminated land?

If you think you have hazardous asbestos contaminated land, soil, or construction waste then the first step is to confirm if asbestos is present, how much is present, to what depths and what asbestos type it is. The recommended approach is to have a full asbestos contamination land survey carried out.

Speak to us before you commission any work. Depending on your site and plans, you may only need asbestos in soil testing, asbestos bulk testing, or WAC testing rather than a full survey. We can take you through your options and recommend the most appropriate first step based on your specific site.

What happens next?

Once you know what asbestos contamination you have, how much you have and to what depths then the next step for most is to have it safely removed.

There are various options when it comes to asbestos contamination to land, soil, and other construction waste. We can provide you with everything you need to know to ensure a safe and hassle-free asbestos contamination removal project.

Once you have told us your plans, we can provide you with the most economical solutions to remove the asbestos contamination and dispose of it correctly and safely.

Asbestos contaminated soil services FAQs

What counts as asbestos contaminated land or soil?
Land or soil is considered asbestos contaminated when asbestos fibres or asbestos-containing materials are present in the ground, whether from historic dumping, demolition debris, made ground, or building materials breaking down over time. This can range from small fragments picked up during groundworks to widespread contamination across a site.
Do I need a full survey, or can I go straight to soil testing?
It depends on how much you already know about your site. If asbestos presence is unconfirmed, a full asbestos contaminated land survey is the right starting point, as it establishes where contamination is, how extensive it is, and to what depth. If you already know asbestos is present and just need to confirm levels or plan disposal, soil sampling, bulk testing or WAC testing may be enough on their own.
What's the difference between soil testing, bulk testing and WAC testing?
Soil sampling and bulk testing identify whether asbestos is present and at what concentration, which informs risk assessment and remediation planning. WAC (Waste Acceptance Criteria) testing is a separate, later-stage test that classifies contaminated soil for landfill purposes, determining where and how it can legally be disposed of once removed.
Can I claim tax relief on asbestos land remediation costs?
UK businesses may be able to claim up to 150% tax relief on the cost of asbestos removal and remediation under the government’s land remediation relief scheme. Eligibility depends on the nature of the land and the works carried out, so it can be beneficial to check how your specific circumstances apply before work begins.
