At Cotech Solutions we offer a very specialist service which enables us to quickly and safely restore heating, water and electrical supplies within 24 hours in asbestos-contaminated areas.
Our team of electricians, plumbers, gas safe engineers and boiler technicians are fully trained asbestos containment & removal operatives. This means we can often have asbestos-contaminated premises operating again the same day and save enormous costs in the event of service interruption.
We are able to offer this unique asbestos and containment service at Cotech Solutions because we work hand-in-hand with Clarke’s Environmental, our leading licensed asbestos removal company, and HCS Mechanical, a premier company providing heating and plumbing services.
In many cases we provide a same-day solution to a problem that would normally place a property out of action for a month or more.
Quite often educational, commercial or industrial premises can suffer potentially catastrophic interruptions to services when work needs to be carried out in asbestos-contaminated areas. If this happens to be a major leak to water supplies or heating pipe work then isolation and hence interruption would occur followed by either a waiver application or standard 14 day ASB 5 notification. Only when the HSE have approved the ASB 5 can licensed removal contractors carry out a clean of the working area which can take further weeks to complete not to mention the cost. Once the clean is complete only then can contractors enter the area and carry out the necessary repairs to then restore service to the affected area. In some cases this could mean a property shuts for the duration.
Cotech Solutions offer a solution to this problem in a more timely and cost-effective manner than other companies. Often, in the case of schools, our team of asbestos-trained contractors move straight in at the end of the working day and work overnight, returning the establishment to normality for the following day.

We utilise only our more experienced HCS engineers who are fully trained asbestos removal operatives. They attend annual ARCA refresher courses and, complete with face fits and medicals, work under the overall supervision of Clarkes Environmental who carry out the setup of enclosures on site and satisfy the full HSE requirements. These individuals’ exposure records and personal monitoring results are held by Clarkes Environmental offering them the same safe working enjoyed by their regular removals teams.
