Asbestos Ceiling Removal
Crucial Environmental has years of experience in carrying out the removal of asbestos ceilings and ceiling tiles from residential, commercial and industrial properties in the UK. If you believe you may have asbestos either contained in the materials of your ceilings or in ceiling tiles, it is natural to want to get the matter dealt with as soon as possible.
Our team can first carry out surveys and analysis on your ceiling to establish the presence of asbestos – we can then offer a full removal service. Please contact us today for more information or to book in an asbestos survey.
Ceiling asbestos removal and disposal
Asbestos ceilings are a relatively common feature in older buildings. Whilst it has been banned from use in the UK since 1999, the material had previously been used as an insulator, as well as having excellent fireproofing and acoustic quality, which means it is quite often found in walls and ceilings. Removing asbestos ceilings or ceiling tiles containing the material is one of our most common tasks, meaning we have years of experience in doing it properly.
Our ceiling and ceiling panel removal is carried out under strict conditions to ensure that the surrounding environment does not pose a threat. This includes conducting risk assessments, air monitoring, providing safety signage and using the correct equipment.
We remove the asbestos-containing materials as quickly and efficiently as possible while minimising the risk of asbestos exposure. On completion, we bring in an independent UKAS-accredited air monitoring company to test the atmosphere for levels of asbestos fibres.
