Asbestos Removal in Oakham, Rutland

We often hear from homeowners who were tempted to have a go at removing an old shed themselves. However, the risks are simply too high. When asbestos-containing materials are broken, drilled, or even just roughly handled, they release microscopic fibres into the air. If these are inhaled, they can cause devastating health issues like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. These aren't just scare tactics; they are real risks that require professional handling.We follow strict HSE guidelines for every job we undertake. This involves using specialized breathing apparatus (RPE), protective clothing (PPE), and wetting down materials to prevent any dust from becoming airborne. Don't risk your health or the safety of your neighbours; let a trained expert handle the hazard correctly.

Old asbestos cement roofs are incredibly common across Oakham and the surrounding villages. Over time, these sheets can become weathered and brittle, making them more likely to release fibres. We offer a full dismantling service for garage roofs and outbuildings. We don't just remove the sheets; we carefully bag and wrap them on-site, ensuring no debris is left behind. If you've got an old shed that's seen better days, we can dismantle the entire structure and leave the area clean and ready for your new project.

Renovating an older property often reveals hidden asbestos. Many homes in the Rutland area still have textured coatings (often called Artex) on the ceilings or vinyl floor tiles stuck down with black bitumen adhesive. Both of these materials often contain asbestos. If you're planning on sanding down a ceiling or scraping up old tiles, stop and get it checked first. We can safely remove these coatings and adhesives, using fibre-trapping techniques to ensure your living space remains uncontaminated during the renovation process.
