About Leesafe Ltd

A family-owned, multi-specialist environmental contractor founded in 1997 on Canvey Island, Essex. Built on decades of experience in the hazardous materials industry.

Our Story

It All Began with a Formula for Ambition

On leaving college in 1981, Alan Lee was employed in the Petro/Chemical industry as a qualified chemist. Later, within the same company, he helped pioneer oil and solvent reclamation processes.

After years in the toxic and hazardous materials industry, he decided to go out on his own and bring his experience and knowledge to people personally — and so, in April 1997, Leesafe Ltd was created on Canvey Island, Essex.

Since then, Leesafe has established itself as a professionally run, multi-specialist, family-owned, successful business. We would not be where we are today if it wasn't for hard work and fantastic customers, like yourself.

We know that to stay competitive, we must not rest on our laurels, and continue to adjust and evolve to the needs of an ever-changing landscape. But one thing that will never change is our priority to ensure your safety.
