Project Overview
Abastra Environmental was appointed to safely remove asbestos-containing residue discovered beneath existing paintwork during refurbishment works in London. The project required a controlled removal solution that would minimise disruption while ensuring full compliance with UK asbestos regulations.
The Challenge
During initial inspections, asbestos-based residue was identified beneath multiple layers of paintwork. Due to the hazardous nature of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), specialist removal procedures were required to prevent the release of airborne fibres and maintain a safe environment for workers and occupants.
Our Solution
As trusted specialists in asbestos removal in London, Abastra delivered a safe and compliant solution using advanced dustless blasting technology. This method allowed us to remove the contaminated coatings efficiently while significantly reducing airborne dust and fibre release compared to traditional removal techniques.
Key benefits of the process included:
- Reduced airborne asbestos fibre risk
- Minimal disruption to surrounding areas
- Safe and controlled removal of ACM residue
- Compliance with HSE asbestos regulations
- Efficient preparation of surfaces for future works
All asbestos-containing materials were safely contained, removed and disposed of in accordance with hazardous waste regulations.
