Asbestos removal from a residential garage in Ponteland, Newcastle
In January 2024, we were contracted by a homeowner based in Ponteland, Newcastle Upon Tyne, who was looking to carry out refurbishment work on their home.
The problem
Before they began refurbishing the property, they had an asbestos survey carried out by an accredited analytical company. The results of this survey revealed that they had Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) present in the garage, which would need to be removed before refurbishment work could commence.
AIB removal should be carried out by a Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor as it is a fibrous material which usually contains amosite (brown) asbestos and/or chrysotile (white) asbestos. AIB was a popular building material before asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999 and is still found in many domestic properties.
The AIB needed to be safely removed to ensure that it did not get damaged during the refurbishment work. AIB that is disturbed or damaged can release asbestos fibers which can be a serious hazard to health if inhaled, causing serious and often fatal diseases.
The solution
The local analytical company which conducted the survey recommended Henderson Environmental to the homeowner.
After providing the client with a quote, they accepted our proposal. Before any removal work commenced, we carried out a pre-start visit and discussed the removal process, answering any questions that the client had.
We were able to safely complete the removal of the AIB in the garage, in line with current safety legislation and industry regulations.
The result
The homeowner was satisfied with the results of the removal work and left the following review:
“Henderson Environmental were very organised and helpful. They replied very quickly to all my emails and questions and kept me well informed as to what was going to happen. An excellent price when compared to other companies and they did an excellent job. The team on the day were very pleasant, thorough and professional, thank you.”
