General contractors
Abatement that holds your schedule. We price from the survey and tender documents, plan containment around the trades behind us, and hand back a cleared area with the paperwork your consultant needs.
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT.
Asbestos, mould and lead removal for general contractors, facility managers and owners. Every scope starts from the designated substance survey and ends with clearance and a clean set of closeout records.
Or call direct (647) 628-3402WHO WE DO IT FOR.
Commercial and institutional work is most of what we do. Owner-direct jobs get the same crew and controls.
Schools, colleges + hospitals
Much of our abatement happens in occupied institutional buildings. Containment, negative air and access routes are planned around the people still using the building.
Property owners
Pre-renovation abatement for owners, landlords and homeowners, with the same crew and controls we bring to commercial work.
WHAT'S INCLUDED.
Scopes are priced from your drawings, survey and site conditions. These are the usual pieces.
- Type 1, 2 and 3 asbestos operations under Ontario Regulation 278/05
- Full containment, negative air, HEPA filtration and decontamination facilities
- Mould remediation, Level 1 to 3
- Lead abatement, Type 1 to 3 operations
- Waste packaging, labelling and transport to an approved receiving site
- Air monitoring and clearance coordinated with your consultant
Planned from the survey, closed with a record.
We read the designated substance survey and drawings first, then set the containment, sequence and waste route before anyone opens a wall. Type 3 work is done by workers holding the Ontario 253W certificate and supervised by a 253S-certified supervisor. Closeout includes waste documentation and the records your consultant signs off.
See the crew's certifications on the Health & Safety page.

QUESTIONS WE GET.
What is the difference between Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 asbestos work?
Ontario Regulation 278/05 sorts asbestos work by risk. Type 1 is low-risk work such as hand-removing non-friable material. Type 2 is moderate-risk work, such as removing small amounts of friable material or using a glove bag. Type 3 is high-risk work, such as removing larger amounts of friable material, and needs full containment, negative air and a decontamination facility. JQUE does all three.
Do I need a designated substance survey before abatement?
Yes. In Ontario the owner has to identify designated substances such as asbestos and lead before a project is tendered. We price and plan from that survey. If you do not have one, we will tell you what needs testing before we quote.
Are your asbestos workers certified?
Yes. Workers on Type 3 asbestos work hold Ontario's Asbestos Abatement Worker certificate of qualification (253W), and the crew includes a supervisor certified as an Asbestos Abatement Supervisor (253S). Crews also carry Working at Heights, WHMIS, Health and Safety Awareness training and respirator fit testing.
Do you handle mould and lead as well as asbestos?
Yes. We do mould remediation from Level 1 to Level 3 and lead abatement from Type 1 to Type 3, often on the same job as the asbestos scope.
Can you abate and demolish on the same job?
Yes, and it is usually faster. One crew abates, demolishes and preps the space, so there is no gap between trades and one set of records at closeout.
Need the whole project run, not just this scope? We take on construction management for select projects.
