Asbestos Removal in Uppingham, Rutland

Is that old garden shed or garage roof looking a bit worse for wear? Many outbuildings in Uppingham were constructed using corrugated asbestos cement sheets. Over time, these sheets can become brittle and moss-covered. The real danger starts when they break or when you try to dismantle them yourself, as this is when harmful fibres are released into the air. We specialise in the safe dismantling and disposal of these structures. We use a 'wetting down' technique to suppress any dust, carefully remove the fixings to keep the sheets intact, and then double-wrap everything securely. We’ll even take care of the debris clearance, leaving the area spotless and ready for your new building.

Thinking about modernising your ceilings? Before you reach for the sander, it’s vital to know that most Artex applied before the year 2000 contains asbestos. Sanding or scraping these surfaces is one of the most common ways people accidentally expose themselves to dangerous fibres. We offer professional removal of Artex and other textured coatings from walls and ceilings across Uppingham. Our process is meticulous—we contain the area, use specialised fibre-trapping wipes, and ensure every trace of the material is safely bagged and removed. It’s simply not worth the risk of a DIY attempt when a professional can clear it safely for you.

Have you just pulled up a carpet only to find old, brittle vinyl tiles underneath? Or perhaps there’s a layer of black, sticky glue on the concrete? These floor tiles and the bitumen adhesive used to stick them down frequently contain asbestos. Because they are often hidden, they’re easy to disturb during a renovation. We’ve helped many Rutland homeowners safely lift these materials, ensuring the subfloor is clean and safe for your new flooring to be laid. We don’t leave anything behind, and we make sure the waste is transported to an authorised site with all the correct paperwork.

Maybe you’ve already had some asbestos materials removed during a building project and now you’re stuck with a pile of waste that the local tip won't take. Don’t let it sit there and become a hazard.

As a registered Waste Carrier, we ensure all materials—from cement pipes and soffits to old water tanks—are correctly double-bagged, labelled, and transported. We’ll provide you with a Waste Consignment Note, which is your legal proof that the hazardous material has been disposed of in full compliance with HSE guidelines.
