There is absolutely no room for error. As a result, every job is meticulously completed providing all of our clients with the piece of mind that the job has been finished to the highest industry standard. This is of particular importance when it comes to our Hospital and School contracts” added PJ.
“That gives our clients confidence in us and how we operate. When they make contact they know that they are going to be getting an extremely good service and the right result for their project.”
PJ continued: “The most important thing we always say to our clients is – don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our tenders are extremely comprehensive, listing everything that will be required to complete their project safely and on time, we also include our employee training certification, asbestos waste collection permits, asbestos insurance, client testimonials etc. to provide a high level of confidence in our clients from the very start.
“Asbestos removal can be an unexpected expense to companies or individual property owners at times and in the past we have lost jobs because we have been considered a little higher than another tender. But that’s simply because we do it right – with the correct training, methods, disposal, insurances, paperwork and health and safety procedures. In fact on a number of occasions subsequently we have gotten calls to come in and clean up other people’s mess…..where a project may have been awarded but the HSA may have inspected the project and were have not been satisfied with the competency levels of how the works were been carried out and we have been then appointed to make things right, when it comes to people’s wellbeing and the right and wrong way of doing something there is no such thing as short cut in the Asbestos industry.”
