Asbestos Shed And Outbuilding Removal in Ashby-De-La-Zouch, Leicestershire

It is not always obvious which parts of a shed or garage contain asbestos, but there are some common culprits we see regularly in Leicestershire properties. Most often, it is the corrugated roofing sheets (sometimes called 'chrysotile' or white asbestos) that people notice first. However, asbestos was also frequently used for internal wall linings, ceiling boards in larger outbuildings, and even those old flue pipes sticking out of a workshop roof. These materials are known as ACMs (Asbestos Containing Materials). In their bonded state, they are relatively stable, but the danger spikes the moment they are disturbed. Snapping a sheet or drilling into a panel can send dust into the air that, if inhaled, can lead to serious health issues like asbestosis or mesothelioma years down the line. That is why we treat every project with the highest level of caution, using specialist fibre suppression techniques to keep everything damp and prevent any dust from becoming airborne.

You might wonder what actually happens when we turn up to remove an asbestos shed. We do not take shortcuts because your safety is our absolute priority. First, we prepare the area by using wetting agents to saturate the materials. This is a crucial step for dust suppression; it ensures that even if a sheet has to be moved, no fibres are released. Our team wears full PPE and RPE (that is personal protective and respiratory equipment) designed specifically for hazardous environments. We carefully unscrew fixings rather than breaking them and use shadow vacuuming with H-Class vacuums where necessary. Once the structure is down, every single piece is double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene and sealed tight. We then perform a thorough site clean-up, including a wipe-down of the area with fibre-trapping wipes, leaving your garden clear, safe, and ready for whatever new project you have planned.
