Asbestos Water Tank Removal in Tadley

It’s tempting to think you can just break up an old tank and pop it in a skip, but that’s where the danger lies. Asbestos cement is generally 'non-friable', which is a fancy way of saying the fibres are tightly bound and won't fly away if the tank is whole. However, as soon as you hit it with a hammer or try to saw it to fit through a small opening, you're creating high concentrations of dust. These microscopic fibres can linger in your loft insulation for years. We've seen many 'loft hatch dilemmas' where the original tank is much larger than the current opening. Rather than risking your health, we use professional wetting agents and suppressants to keep dust down, ensuring any necessary dismantling is done under strictly controlled conditions.
