Asbestos Water Tank Removal in Coalville, Leicestershire

You might be tempted to just break the tank up with a hammer to get it through the loft hatch, but that is exactly where the danger lies. These tanks are made from asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) where the fibres are bonded within cement. As soon as you crack, drill, or smash the material, those microscopic fibres are released into the air. Breathing them in is linked to serious long-term health risks like asbestosis and mesothelioma. It is simply not worth the risk for a DIY job. We understand the 'fear factor' involved with asbestos, which is why we handle the entire process following strict HSE guidelines to keep your household safe.

We don't just haul the tank out; we follow a meticulous safety process. First, we protect your loft space and the walkway to your landing with heavy-duty polythene. We then use specialist wetting agents—a technique called dust suppression—to ensure no fibres become airborne during the move. Instead of smashing the tank into pieces, we dismantle it as carefully as possible, often whole if the hatch allows. Every fragment is double-wrapped and sealed in industrial-grade bags before it even leaves the attic. Once the tank is gone, we perform a thorough clean-up using HEPA-filtered vacuums and fibre-trapping wipes to leave the area safe for you to use again.

What happens to the asbestos once it is removed from your property in North West Leicestershire? As a Registered Waste Carrier, Asbestos Clear UK ensures that every tank is transported to a dedicated hazardous waste transfer station. We don't just leave you with a empty loft; we provide a formal Waste Consignment Note. This document is your legal proof that the hazardous material was handled and disposed of correctly. Combined with our full Public Liability Insurance, you can have total peace of mind that the job is fully compliant and professionally managed from start to finish.
