Commercial Asbestos Removal in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

Many of the older warehouses and workshops across Melton Mowbray and Leicestershire still feature original asbestos cement corrugated roofing sheets. While these materials are generally safe if left completely undisturbed, they become a major hazard the moment they start to weather, crack, or if you're planning on replacing them. We specialise in the controlled dismantling of these sheets and wall panels. We don't just rip things out; we use careful dust suppression techniques and wetting methods to prevent dangerous fibre release. Whether it's a small industrial shed or a larger commercial unit, we ensure every piece of cement cladding is carefully lowered, double-wrapped, and prepared for legal disposal, leaving your site clear and ready for the next stage of your project.

Have you ever pulled up an old carpet in an office or shop only to find those brittle, 9-inch square tiles underneath? In many Melton businesses, these are likely to be asbestos-containing vinyl tiles. Even more common is the black, sticky 'bitumen' adhesive used to glue them down, which often contains asbestos fibres too. You shouldn't try to scrape these up yourself. We use specialist tools and HEPA-filtered vacuums to strip away these floor tiles and the underlying bitumen adhesive safely. It’s a meticulous job, but it’s the only way to ensure the area is microscopically clean. Once we're finished, your floor will be safe for your flooring contractors to come in and lay a modern surface without any risk to their health.

It’s not just industrial sites that have these issues; many office blocks and converted residential properties used as commercial spaces in Melton Mowbray have Artex on the ceilings or walls. This decorative coating was popular for decades but frequently contained asbestos to give it strength. If you’re planning on drilling into these surfaces for new wiring or knocking down a partition wall, you could be releasing harmful fibres into your workspace. We provide a clean, controlled removal service for textured coatings, ensuring all waste is bagged and the area is thoroughly decontaminated. We follow strict HSE guidelines to make sure your employees aren't walking back into a contaminated environment.

Sometimes the problem isn't a fixed material, but the mess left behind by previous work or accidental damage. If you’ve discovered broken fragments of asbestos cement sheets or pipe insulation debris on your site, it needs professional attention immediately. This is especially common during 'soft strip' demolition or light refurbishment projects where asbestos hasn't been properly identified beforehand. We offer a comprehensive site decontamination service, carefully picking up fragments, cleaning the area with fibre-trapping wipes, and using industrial-grade filtration to ensure no microscopic dust remains. We'll help you turn a 'stop-work' situation back into a safe, active site.
