Proactive Asbestos Control

What Proactive Asbestos Control does

Proactive Asbestos Control Ltd is a privately held UK asbestos removal and surveying contractor founded in 2007 by Daniel Greenough and Terry James, headquartered in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The company is fully licensed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to remove licensed asbestos materials, holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from the British Standards Institute, and operates an in-house asbestos waste transfer station under WAMITAB Level 4 accreditation. Its core services comprise commercial and residential asbestos removal, asbestos surveys and sampling, encapsulation and labelling, hazardous waste collection, and reinstatement, delivered using a fleet of sealed waste vehicles, mobile decontamination units, and BOHS P402-certified surveyors.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; free quotes are offered across all enquiry types with pay-as-you-go billing. Customers reach the company primarily through inbound phone and website enquiries, SEO-optimised local landing pages (Northampton, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Kettering, Wellingborough, plus nationwide coverage), and direct field engagement on commercial contracts. Distribution is direct to customer across both commercial (local authorities, councils, schools, housing associations, industrial and historic-building clients) and domestic segments, with no intermediaries, paid advertising, or platform layer.

The customer base is a hybrid mix of one-off commercial projects (e.g., Northampton Borough Council, Blenheim Palace via 4SEE Risk Management, factory clearances in Wellingborough and Baldock), recurring social-housing and education framework work, and high-volume domestic enquiries. Differentiators centre on the regulatory licence stack (HSE, ISO 9001, CHAS, Constructionline Gold, Acclaim H&S, ACAD), in-house hazardous-waste vertical integration, and a tenured management team with industry certifications.
