Asbestos Removal in Ibstock, Leicestershire

One of the most frequent calls we get in the Ibstock area involves old outbuildings. Those grey, wavy sheets on your garage or garden shed are almost certainly asbestos cement. While they’re relatively sturdy when left alone, they become incredibly dangerous the moment they start to crack, weather, or if you try to dismantle them yourself. Breaking a single sheet can release thousands of microscopic fibres into the air, which, if inhaled, can lead to serious long-term health issues like asbestosis or mesothelioma.We specialise in the safe dismantling of asbestos cement garage roofs and the complete removal of sheds and outbuildings. Our process involves:Carefully wetting down the sheets to suppress any potential dust.Unbolting rather than breaking materials to minimise fibre release.Thoroughly cleaning the remaining frame and surrounding area.Double-wrapping and labelling all waste securely on-site.Don't risk your health with a DIY job; let us handle the heavy lifting and the hazards safely.

Are you looking to modernise your home but worried about that old Artex on the ceilings? Many people don't realise that textured coatings applied before the late 1990s often contain white asbestos (Chrysotile). If you sand, scrape, or drill into these ceilings during a renovation, you could be filling your living room with invisible, toxic dust. Most homeowners we speak to in Ibstock are relieved to find out that we can remove these coatings or safely manage them without turning the house into a building site.We also handle other internal hazards like asbestos-backed vinyl floor tiles and that stubborn black bitumen adhesive often found underneath. These materials are frequently overlooked during quick refurbishments, but they require specialist handling and disposal to ensure your home remains a safe place to live.
