Expert Emergency Asbestos Services in Amesbury, Wiltshire

Most of the homeowners we speak to in Amesbury only realise they have a problem when it’s already been disturbed. Maybe you were scraping back an old Artex ceiling or pulling up vinyl floor tiles when you noticed a fibrous material underneath. This is what we call an 'accidental disturbance' emergency. The risk here is 'friability'—which is just a technical way of saying how easily the material crumbles into dust. Our team is fully trained to handle these high-pressure moments. We’ll arrive quickly, cordon off the affected area, and use specialist equipment to suppress any dust. We follow the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) to the absolute letter, ensuring that everything from the initial air monitoring to the final clean-up is done by the book.

Not every emergency requires a full-scale removal. Sometimes, the safest and quickest way to protect your family or employees is through asbestos encapsulation. This involves sealing the damaged material with a high-grade protective coating that prevents any fibres from escaping. It’s often a great immediate solution for damaged pipe lagging or AIB (Asbestos Insulation Board) panels that are otherwise in good condition. Of course, if the material is too badly damaged, we’ll carry out a safe, compliant removal instead. We handle everything from broken soffits and fascias to contaminated soil on building sites. Whatever the scenario, we’ll talk you through the options in plain English so you can make the right decision for your property.

Once the immediate danger is over, you’re often left wondering what happens to the hazardous waste. You can’t just pop it in a skip or take it to the local tip. As licensed waste carriers, we take care of the entire disposal process for you. Every bit of asbestos we remove is double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene, labelled correctly, and transported in a dedicated vehicle to a regulated facility. Most importantly, we’ll provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. Think of this as your 'get out of jail free' card—it’s the legal proof that the hazardous material was disposed of safely and responsibly. It's an essential document to keep, especially if you ever plan on selling your property in the future.
