About us

ASL provide uniformed staff that are also CRB checked and are cleared to work on Police and MoD establishments.
Health and Safety during surveys
Work during surveys frequently involves working close to, or with, asbestos. During inspection and sampling, the area is cordoned off and possible fibre release is minimised to ensure the safety of the surveyors and the building’s users or occupiers.
ASL operatives carry the correct specialist type vacuuming equipment to clear up any minor amounts of debris created and also have a full repair kit to fill any holes or marks created, if required.
