What Amianto Services does

Amianto Services Limited is a UK-based licensed asbestos removal and abatement contractor, founded in 2017 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Sovini Group. The company is headquartered in Bootle, Merseyside, and delivers five integrated service lines: licensed asbestos removal (sprayed coatings, pipe insulation, insulating board), non-licensed asbestos removal (floor tiles, mastics, resins), notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW), compliant asbestos waste transfer and disposal, and FIRAS-accredited passive fire protection. Operations are governed by a three-year HSE asbestos licence, FIRAS, ARCA, and ACAD accreditations, and an Environmental Agency permit framework for waste transfer stations distributed across the UK. The technology backbone is OneServe, a third-party field service management platform adopted as an early industry deployment to provide real-time communication, photographic job updates, and alerts between field teams, the head office, and clients.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model, winning work through competitive tendering (e.g., Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust) and direct enterprise outreach to NHS trusts, higher education providers, local authorities, housing associations, and commercial clients. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke per project, with no publicly disclosed rates. Disclosed multi-year contract values are in the £150k–£180k+ range (Lancaster University, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Hospital Trust), and the company has removed approximately 80 tonnes of asbestos waste in a 12-month period. Customer segments are concentrated in public sector and regulated industries, with The Sovini Group acting as an internal anchor customer and the July 2025 appointment to the Fusion21 Building Safety and Compliance Framework providing access to 1,100+ public sector members for pipeline expansion. Leadership includes Managing Director James Speare, with James Arkwright as Health, Safety and Quality Manager; the company has accumulated multiple industry awards including seven consecutive RoSPA Gold Awards, ARCA Gold Site Audit Awards, and ACAD Excellence in Audit Awards.
