North East asbestos removal: How we can help
For 40 years, the Henderson brand has offered a full range of North East asbestos removal services to businesses and organisations, helping to keep local enterprises safe.
Henderson Environmental’s North East roots
First established in Gateshead in 1984, under the name Henderson Insulation, Henderson Environmental has been a leading asbestos removal service for residential, commercial and industrial buildings across the region.
Managing Director, Ian Pearce, relocated to the North East 20 years ago and has been running the business ever since with his wife, who is the company’s Accounts Executive.
His nephew, Ricky Breward, works alongside them both as Henderson Environmental’s Contracts Manager. This family-run business is committed to protecting local enterprises with tailored asbestos removal solutions and supporting the community by directly employing people who live in Gateshead.
Why North East asbestos removal services are important
With its rich industrial history, the North East is home to many old factory buildings, warehouses and heritage sites. Asbestos remains the largest single cause of work-related fatalities and according to a study conducted by the Work and Pensions Committee, 547 people died in North Tyneside from asbestos-related cancer deaths between 1981 and 2019, with 209 fatalities in Hartlepool and 206 deaths in Sunderland during the same four decades. The North East of England remains the worst affected area for Mesothelioma. Henderson Environmental is committed to raising awareness of the dangers of asbestos and supporting businesses with the safe removal or encapsulation of the material.
Between the 1950s and the mid-1980s, asbestos was used in the manufacture and installation of a variety of products, including ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, boilers, sprayed coatings and garage roof tiles. Buildings constructed during this time will likely contain asbestos-containing materials that pose a serious health risk if damaged or disturbed.
