Asbestos Water Tank Removal in Syston, Leicestershire

Why that old grey tank poses a riskMost of the time, an asbestos cement water tank is what we call 'non-friable.' This means the dangerous fibres are tightly bonded within the cement. However, the risk changes the moment that material is disturbed. Imagine trying to manhandle a heavy, brittle tank through a narrow loft hatch. If it cracks, snaps, or scrapes against the joists, it can release microscopic fibres into the air of your home. These fibres are invisible to the naked eye but can cause serious health issues, such as asbestosis or mesothelioma, if inhaled.We often see tanks that have become fragile over time due to hard water deposits or simply the age of the material. Attempting a DIY removal or hiring a 'man and van' who isn't properly equipped is a recipe for disaster. Not only could you contaminate your living space, but you could also face significant legal issues for improper disposal. We follow strict HSE guidelines to ensure that every removal is controlled, contained, and completely safe.

The Asbestos Clear UK safe removal methodWhen you choose us for your water tank removal in Syston, we don't just turn up and start lugging things around. We follow a meticulous process designed to keep your home clean and your family safe. First, we protect the area around the loft hatch and the path through your house. We use professional fibre suppression techniques, which involves applying wetting agents to the tank to prevent any dust from becoming airborne during the dismantling process.We carefully dismantle the tank into manageable pieces, avoiding any unnecessary breakage. Each piece is then double-bagged and sealed in heavy-duty asbestos waste bags before ever leaving the loft. Once the tank is gone, we don't just stop there. We perform a thorough HEPA-vacuuming of the area and a detailed wipe-down with fibre-trapping wipes. Our goal is to leave your loft cleaner and safer than we found it, giving you total peace of mind to move forward with your plumbing upgrades or home renovations.

As a registered Waste Carrier, Asbestos Clear UK ensures that every tank we remove is transported securely to a designated, licensed waste transfer station. We don't cut corners. Once the job is finished, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is a vital legal document that proves you have disposed of the hazardous material responsibly and in accordance with UK law.Whether you are a homeowner in Syston or a landlord managing a property in Charnwood, this paperwork is essential for your records. It protects you from liability and is often required when you eventually come to sell your property. We take care of all the red tape so you don't have to worry about a thing.
