Self-delivered, from survey to certificate
We do the work ourselves. Our own supervisors, operatives and surveyors survey, remove asbestos, fire-stop, install and certify, so you deal with one team that answers for all of it.
Fast to respond
We never wait on a subcontractor's diary. Our own teams are mobilised when your programme needs them, and the people you speak to can commit them.
Quality we control
The people who survey, remove and install are trained, supervised and audited by us, on one certified management system. Standards don't drift down a chain.
Commercially competitive
There is no subcontractor's margin stacked on top of ours. You pay for the work and for proper supervision, not for layers of management.
One point of accountability
One contract, one team, one programme and one evidence pack. If something needs putting right, it is ours to put right, quickly.
The only things we bring in are those that should be independent or are specialist trades: analysts and laboratories (independent by law), licensed scaffolding and electrical work. Why LE Group →
Where programmes lose time, quality and money
Fire safety and asbestos work are often let through several layers. Each one costs you something.
Hand-offs
A main contractor appoints a specialist, who appoints a subcontractor, who sends a labour-only gang. Every hand-off adds time and dilutes responsibility.
Availability
The programme waits until the subcontractor has people free. When asbestos turns up in a riser, it waits again for a second contractor.
Quality drift
The people on site are not the people who priced the job or answered your questions, and they work to someone else's standards.
Margin on margin
Each layer adds its own overhead and profit. You pay for the chain as well as the work.
What self-delivery means in practice
Our people, our standards
BOHS P402 surveyors, BM TRADA Q-Mark approved installers and fire door maintainers, and licensed asbestos supervisors and operatives, all directly managed by us, with training, medical and face-fit records you can see.
One programme for fire and asbestos
Because we hold an HSE asbestos licence and Q-Mark fire certification, the same team surveys, makes safe, seals and certifies. Nothing stops while you find a second contractor.
Familiar faces on your job
We keep the same supervisors on a programme wherever we can, so residents, site managers and clerks of works deal with people who know the building.
Our own equipment
Our own decontamination units and equipment, so mobilisation does not depend on hire availability.
Trained by the manufacturers
Our fire stopping team trains hands-on with the manufacturers whose systems we install, and we work with all of them rather than being tied to one.
Evidence from our own system
Photographs, pinned records, plans of work and clearance certificates captured on site by our own teams, and handed over in one pack.
What we bring in, and why
We are clear about the few things we don't do ourselves, because that is part of being reliable.
- Independent analysts and laboratories. Air monitoring, clearance and sample analysis must be independent of the removal contractor. That is the law, and it protects you.
- Licensed scaffolding. Erected and inspected by licensed scaffolders where access needs it.
- Electrical work. Isolations and alterations by qualified electrical contractors.
- Everything else is ours: surveys, asbestos removal, fire stopping, fire doors, certification and handover.
