Case Studies

Read our case studies below to see how we have helped a range of clients with asbestos removal solutions.

Asbestos Removal

Pre-refurbishment asbestos removal in Newcastle Upon Tyne

We were recently appointed by a renowned travel catering company to safely remove asbestos insulating board above a suspended ceiling at their depot, based in Central Station in Newcastle Upon Tyne. We prepared a plan detailing each stage of the asbestos removal process. This plan was evaluated by the catering company’s health and safety team, and following approval, in September we carried out asbestos removal works under Fully Controlled Conditions.

Encapsulation Work

Asbestos encapsulation and removal at Hawick Town Hall

Our long-term client, the Scottish Borders Council, recently appointed the Henderson Environmental team to conduct an asbestos removal service on an out-of-service lift at Hawick Town Hall. There were two main aspects to this job. The initial step in the process was to complete asbestos encapsulation. Asbestos encapsulation is the technique of covering or containing asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in order to prevent the release of harmful fibres into the air.

Asbestos Removal

Piramal Pharma Solutions

One of our long-term clients was concerned about the presence of ACMs in their pharmaceutical facility and required our team to check the pipework for asbestos. Asbestos was identified within the pipe lagging and our removal experts safely removed and disposed of contaminated materials. This process ensured tradespeople could get to work altering the pipe system within the facility without the risk of coming into contact with ACMs.

Environmental Clean

Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust

We were contacted by the estate’s department at a local hospital with concerns about the safety of the premises and the risk of asbestos fibres being released. Our team were required to conduct an environmental clean of the hospital to ensure the ceiling voids within the premises were decontaminated and asbestos-free. The hospital is now safe for staff, visitors, and patients and poses no risk to the health of those within the building.

Asbestos Removal

Scottish Borders Council

After a local swimming pool was subject to an arson attack, there was a risk that dangerous asbestos fibres may be released. Our specialist team were tasked with conducting a localised clean under semi-controlled conditions on the premises to remove any asbestos debris and the removal of the asbestos roof tiles which had become dangerous. The site is now undergoing a major refurbishment of the swimming pool.

From the enquiry to the completion of the work, the service is outstanding. All members of staff who attended the site are professional, very polite, did their work and when I asked to do any extra work, it was not a problem, they just did it.

Lena Jopling, Hutchinson Environmental Solutions, Northumberland

"Friendly and Polite"

Hendersons stripped the asbestos ceiling panels from our garage and removed the panels from site. I was very happy with the professional and efficient way in which the work was carried out. The team were very friendly and polite and they left the garage and surrounding area clean and tidy. The work area was tested by an independent company and found to be clean and free of asbestos fibres.

We were delighted by the professional approach and customer service that Henderson provided. From the onset, they demonstrated a highly structured and well-planned approach.

"Expert Knowledge"

I received excellent service from everyone at Henderson as all team members are friendly, helpful, and professional. I would recommend Henderson Environmental to anyone with an asbestos issue and on the strength of the great job that they did, if I ever need soundproofing I would go straight to them.

Ian and his team provided us with an excellent service at a competitive price compared to others. The team were fantastic, arriving on time and working continuously to get the job done. Once completed they showed me the area they had cleared and it had been done to a very high standard, all materials were taken away and the area was thoroughly cleaned. I would highly recommend to all.

"Stress-Free Removal "

When I was first told I had asbestos I was concerned mostly about what it meant to remove it and how destructive the process would be. I needn’t have worried as the team were in and out really quickly, working professionally, and that took all of the stress out of the situation. Thanks for a fantastic job guys!

Adrian Young, Whitley Bay

"Limited Disturbance"

We owe a huge thanks to Ian and the team for making the asbestos removal go so easily and to plan. The impact to tenants has been as minimal as possible and the asbestos skip was removed immediately. The job couldn’t have gone better and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Neil Joslin, The Gateshead Housing Company

"Efficient and On-Time"

I needed a job done quickly and the team came out to give me a quote the following day ad provided the estimate a day later. The work was completed within the estimated time frame and given that it involved removing a ceiling and taking the wall back to brick, we expected a mess but all of the waste was removed and not even a spec of dust was left behind. It’s rare these days to find a company that surpasses expectations and these guys do just that.

Christina Porter, Whickham, Newcastle Upon Tyne

"Safe and Collaborative Team"

The Henderson team were very easy to talk to and it was simple to schedule the removal to suit our calendar. The team on-site worked with our roofers to make sure the building was watertight by the end of the day. All in all Ian and the company were great to work with.
