Asbestos Water Tank Removal in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

Most people describe these as the 'old grey tanks' sitting in their lofts or airing cupboards. Because the asbestos fibres are bonded within cement, they are technically classed as non-friable. However, as these tanks age, they can become brittle. If you try to move one through a tight loft hatch, it is very easy to knock it against a timber or accidentally crack it. That is when the danger starts. Once the material is disturbed, microscopic fibres are released into the air. If inhaled, these fibres can lead to serious long-term health issues like asbestosis or mesothelioma. We often see homeowners in Melton Mowbray tempted to 'have a go' themselves to save money, but the cost of contaminating your home is far higher than the cost of a professional removal.

When we come to your property in Melton Mowbray, we do not just lift and shift. We follow a meticulous safety process designed to keep your home clean and safe. First, we protect the surrounding area with heavy-duty polythene. We then use specialist wetting agents to suppress any potential dust. This 'wetting down' technique is crucial for preventing fibre release. Instead of breaking the tank into small pieces, we aim to dismantle or remove it as whole as possible. Every piece of asbestos cement is then double-bagged and sealed in regulated bags before being carefully removed from your property. To finish, we perform a thorough clean-up using fibre-trapping wipes and HEPA-filtered vacuums to ensure not a trace of debris is left behind.

As a registered waste carrier, Asbestos Clear UK takes the responsibility of disposal very seriously. You cannot simply take an asbestos cement tank to the local tip in a car boot. We transport all ACM waste to a dedicated, authorised waste transfer station. Once the job is done, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is a vital legal document that proves you have disposed of the hazardous material correctly and safely. Whether you are a landlord or a homeowner, this paperwork is essential for your records, especially when it comes to selling your property or proving compliance with health and safety regulations. We handle all the 'red tape' so you can enjoy total peace of mind.
