Removal of Asbestos Containing Materials from Domestic Properties.
Over the previous 8 years Enviraz have successfully tendered for and been directly awarded River Clyde Homes contract for the Provision of Asbestos Removal Services. Enviraz have undertaken the removal and disposal of Asbestos products from a variety of locations within domestic premises throughout our clients property portfolio within the Inverclyde area. These works ranged from small non-licensed works, to large scale licensed asbestos removal projects.
Working in partnership with River Clyde Homes, it is our goal to provide a flexible, reliable solution to our client’s asbestos management problems experienced during routine refurbishment and improvements programs. This included planned works, booked in weeks in advance, or short notice / emergency works.

Enviraz are wary of the sensitive environment we were operating within, and made relevant changes to our working methods and practices to ensure minimum disruption and inconvenience to River Clyde Homes employees, tenants, visitors and affected 3rd parties. Working closely with our client we were able to implement a program of decanting and relocation of tenants to ensure minimal disruption during our works. This included elderly tenants or those who required additional support needs during the decanting process.
