Removing an asbestos water tank is usually a straight-forward process, but all work carried out is to strict health and safety guidelines and regulations.
Once the tank is removed, the cement-based tank is double wrapped and sealed in heavy gauge polythene covering. It is then either placed in a locked container during transit or placed into a sealed hazardous waste skip. This process might seem extensive, but it minimises the risk of asbestos exposure.
Crucial Environmental offers services all across the UK, working from our bases in Sussex and Nottinghamshire.

Are asbestos water tanks safe?
Generally, the asbestos in asbestos water tanks is found inside the cement used to make the tank – this means that this is very safe when in good condition, and will only cause problems if the tank is damaged and asbestos fibres are allowed to get into the atmosphere. As these water tanks are generally only found in much older properties, it may be time to think about replacing them, as asbestos can become dangerous if its wears down.
