Asbestos removal for warehouses & factories

Asbestos removal in factories and warehouses requires careful planning strategies, due to the serious health risks involved if safety protocols aren't followed correctly.

At Goodbye Asbestos, we offer professional warehouse asbestos removal in London and Surrey to ensure the safe and compliant execution of this type of project. We aim to minimise disruptions while protecting workers.

Asbestos safety in warehouses and factories

Commercial or industrial premises built before the year 2000 commonly have asbestos-contain materials (ACMs). This includes ACMs like sprayed coatings, pipe lagging, fibreboard and cement sheets.

If asbestos is disturbed during refurbishments, demolitions or general site operations, ACMs could release asbestos fibres into the air. These microscopic fibres can become lodged in the lungs if they're inhaled, causing serious issues like cancer and other respiratory diseases, sometimes decades down the line.

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, duty holders must assess and manage asbestos risks, keep up-to-date asbestos registers, and implement asbestos management plans. A failure to comply with your legal responsibilities could result in fines or prosecution.

"Very professional and friendly service. Initialy spoke with Andy who gave us a quote and date for the work to be done. Chris and Jeff arrived on time and completely removed our garage although it was pouring with rain. They cleared all the rubbish and left the area clean. Would thoughly recomend this company. Work carried out in Crawley, West Sussex."

Alan Barrett
"Removed an asbestos garage roof, whole shed with asbestos roof, and then when there was further asbestos at the end of the garden took that too. Worked very hard solidly for two hours, loaded sheets, wore masks and suits. Great service and solved a big problem for me."

Elizabeth Anderson
"I had 40 sqm of aertex ceiling removed in my house and the price came out as reasonable (particularly against 3 other quotes I had for the job). The job was completed in one day which I was chuffed with and the guys made sure that the house was safe for us to live in afterwards. Very happy with Goodbye Asbestos, would highly recommend."

Olivia Lands
"I had my asbestos water tank removed from my loft in Croydon. Chris did a great job. They had about a weeks lead time. I needed this done ASAP and they were able to prioritise it and we booked it in next day. Thanks to Andy"

Danny Williams
"Goodbye Asbestos provided a very polite and professional service on a pre-purchase where a suspicious material was identified by a surveyor. Tom gave us a quick turn around and timeframe and kept us updated throughout the process. Would highly recommend for a no fuss experience!"

Elizabeth Packham
"Great service, friendly staff and competitive price. The asbestos was picked up by a diligent worker who came back and checked that there were no small bits on the ground. That really impressed me. Would recommend."

James Goldbridge
"On finding Marley tiles on our floors we were in urgent need of having them removed. Goodbye Asbestos were amazing. They booked us in really quickly and on time, came and scraped up all the offending tiles and gripper rods. They disposed of the rubbish and sealed the under floor, leaving us ready for the laying of our new flooring. A job well done."

Paul Tootill
"I have asked Goodbye Asbestos to remove my asbestos roof and replace it with insulated corrugated metal panels. I recommend them highly as I am very pleased with the quality of their workmanship, their attentive service and communications."

Stefano Ferrari
"I have used Goodbye Asbestos twice, once removing an old asbestos shed and recently my large garage which had an asbestos roof. The guys are efficient, clean and friendly. All wear the appropriate clothing whilst handling the asbestos. Organising the quote and the demolition was easy. I'd highly recommend Goodbye Asbestos for any Asbestos removal you may require."

Callum Stott
"I wanted to say a big thank you to Chris and the team for the superb job they did this morning in dismantling our horrible old asbestos/concrete garage! It was all done very quickly and professionally. They wore PPE and the asbestos roof panels were securely wrapped in plastic sheeting. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I also appreciated your sending me your waste licence and a copy of your insurance which was very reassuring as one reads some horror stories about waste disposal cowboys."

Considerations for warehouse and factory asbestos removal

Industrial settings, such as factories and warehouses, often have high asbestos risks, thanks to their complex layouts, heavy machinery and continuous operations.

Asbestos removal in warehouses and factories demands in-depth risk assessments and categorisation of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). There should be planned containment zones to prevent fibre spread, and the removal should be scheduled during low-activity hours to minimise disruption.

Professional asbestos handling is required with disposal using licensed procedures, followed by a 4-stage airborne clearance certification (if the work was high-risk) before safe reoccupation can occur.

Our warehouse asbestos surveys

At Goodbye Asbestos, we carry out expert inspections, testing and reports, including asbestos management surveys and refurbishment surveys. We can pinpoint the exact location and condition of ACMs, using UKAS-accredited labs to test the type of asbestos present. Our final report will provide you with valuable information to form your asbestos register and management plan, as well as the next steps for removal or monitoring.
