Bitumen Removal Service
Our Values
Often hidden within older properties, asbestos sink pads and bitumen-based materials were once commonly used for their durability and heat-resistant properties. Sink pads, typically found beneath older kitchen and laboratory sinks, were designed to reduce noise and condensation, while asbestos bitumens were widely applied as adhesives, waterproofing agents, and flooring materials.
Over time, as these materials deteriorate or become disturbed, they can pose a risk of releasing asbestos fibres into the environment. Our specialist removal service ensures these legacy materials are carefully managed and safely removed, helping to maintain a secure and compliant space without unnecessary disruption.
Our Process
Our asbestos sink pad and bitumen removal service is carried out with precision and care, ensuring minimal disruption while maintaining the highest safety standards. Before any work begins, a thorough assessment is conducted to identify the asbestos content and determine the safest approach.
Using specialist techniques and equipment, our trained team carefully removes the affected materials, preventing any unnecessary disturbance that could release fibres into the environment. Every step is taken in line with strict regulatory guidelines, ensuring that once the removal is complete, the space is left safe, clean, and compliant.
Our Expertise
Identifying asbestos sink pads and bitumen-based materials often requires a keen eye and an understanding of their historic use in construction. Sink pads, commonly found beneath older kitchen and laboratory sinks, typically have a dense, fibrous texture and were designed for soundproofing and moisture resistance. Asbestos bitumen, used in adhesives, damp-proof coatings, and flooring, often appears as a black, tar-like substance that hardens over time.
While these materials may seem stable, any disturbance—whether through drilling, sanding, or general wear—can release harmful asbestos fibres into the air. As exposure to asbestos is linked to serious health risks, including lung disease and long-term respiratory conditions, identifying and booking an asbestos bitumen removal service is essential for protecting both occupants and the surrounding environment.
