150% TAX RELIEF
The expense associated with asbestos removal can appear onerous for a company with a property portfolio, but help is at hand!
Did you know that removal of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is subject to a 150% tax rebate? This concession was introduced in the 2001 Finance Act to encourage the use of brown-field sites, but is applicable to all ACMs in all building types.
Providing that the ACMs were installed prior to your ownership of the property, and that the owning party is a company (as opposed to sole-trader, partner trustee, or individual), Safe:Environment will provide you with all the necessary documentation and expert support in claiming your 150% rebate.
Example:
- Your company commissions a £10,000 ACM removal project with Safe:Environment (this could be as part of a wider refurbisment)
- Your tax liability is reduced by up to £4,500 (£10,000 x 150% x 30%)
- Safe:Environment prepare the comprehensive documentation and support that you need to claim your cash rebate – even if your company records a loss
FACE FIT TESTING
The RPE Regulations 1992 require that all tight-fitting respirators (including disposable masks) are suited to the wearer and offer the required protection factor. This requirement concerns prevention of exposure to asbestos, but also to silica and wood dust.
In order to assess mask suitability a face fit test must be carried out. This can be done in one of two ways (depending on the respirator/mask type):
Quantitative: this method provides accurate readings of particles inside and outside the mask and confirms if leaks are present and whether or not a satisfactory fit is achieved.
Qualitative: this method involves the use of a ‘bitrex’ solution which is sprayed into the breathing path of the individual whilst wearing the mask. If the wearer can taste the solution this indicates leaks and an unsatisfactory fit.
Safe:Environment can deploy qualified Face Fit Assessors offering both of the above services. All of our assessors have been trained by ‘Fit2Fit’ accredited providers, ensuring that stringent quality and auditing procedures are followed.
Face fit testing can be conducted at our training centre in tandem with other training events. If preferred, our assessors are equipped and ready to conduct testing at any location.

EPC (ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES)
EPCs are a statutory requirement for any property being built, sold or rented. All EU member states have agreed to use EPCs as a tool in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and battle climate change.
For landlords this means procuring an EPC whenever a property is listed for rent, or when the property is subsequently altered (e.g. refurbished, room layout changed). Across a portfolio this process can seem onerous, however Safe:Environment’s approach to multiple-outcome visits means that an EPC assessment can take place alongside other works, thus reducing the cost. Even when conducted in isolation, Safe:Environment’s EPC assessments can be offered at market leading rates to our my:Safe clients.
- All EPCs automatically uploaded to my:Safe, for your instant compliance overview
- All EPCs assessed and issued by level 3 (minimum) qualified assessors
- Favourable rates for batch assessments
