Emergency Call-Out to a Property in Bury
Glenbarrow Ltd was instructed to attend a property in Bury after a homeowner accidentally cut through an asbestos cement pipe while carrying out renovation work. The incident resulted in asbestos cement debris and fine dust contaminating three rooms within the property.
As specialists in asbestos removal Bury, we responded quickly to assess the situation, prevent further spread of contamination and carry out a professional environmental clean in accordance with current HSE guidance.
Initial Assessment
On arrival, our team inspected the affected areas and established that contamination had spread across three rooms. The priority was to safely remove contaminated materials while protecting items that could be successfully decontaminated.
Disposable contaminated items, packaging and cleaning materials were segregated and prepared for disposal as hazardous asbestos waste.
Environmental Clean
Our operatives carried out a comprehensive decontamination programme which included:
- Removal of contaminated disposable items.
- Damp wiping of retained household belongings using specialist industrial wipes.
- Thorough cleaning of all ledges, skirting boards and accessible surfaces.
- H-Class vacuum cleaning of walls, floors, skirting boards and fixtures using a brush attachment designed for delicate surface cleaning.
- Safe packaging and removal of all asbestos waste.
Following completion of the clean, all decontaminated household contents and equipment were returned to their original locations.
Independent Air Testing
For complete peace of mind, independent asbestos testing Bury was undertaken by North Star Environmental.
The reassurance air test achieved a PASS result, confirming the effectiveness of the environmental clean and that the affected areas were suitable for normal reoccupation.
Waste Disposal
Approximately 30 kg of asbestos waste was securely packaged, transported by our registered upper-tier waste carrier and disposed of through our authorised hazardous waste disposal route in full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
