Internal Asbestos Soil Pipe Removal & Replacement

📌 in Arnold

Project overview

In November 2024, our team was called to a property in Arnold, Nottingham, where the homeowner had discovered an internal asbestos cement soil pipe that needed to be safely removed and replaced. The customer was understandably concerned about the health risks of asbestos and wanted the job carried out quickly, safely, and in full compliance with regulations.

Customer pain points

The customer had an ageing soil pipe made of asbestos cement, which was cracked and no longer fit for purpose.
They were worried about the risk of asbestos fibre release during removal.
The property was occupied, so dust control and safety were a top priority.
They wanted the replacement pipe installed immediately to avoid disruption to their home.

Our solution

Our qualified asbestos removal team carried out a full risk assessment and set up a controlled working area inside the property. We:

Used appropriate PPE and dust suppression measures to ensure no fibres escaped into the living space.
Safely removed the asbestos soil pipe in sections, double-wrapping and sealing it in line with HSE guidance.
Transported the asbestos waste directly to a licensed disposal facility, providing the customer with full disposal paperwork for peace of mind.
Installed a brand-new, safe, and durable replacement soil pipe, ensuring the property was back in full working order the same day.

Challenges we worked around

Because the pipe was located internally, we had to work in a tight, enclosed space while ensuring the rest of the property remained safe and dust-free. We achieved this by using controlled cutting techniques, sealed sheeting and continuous air monitoring.

The result

The job was completed smoothly in a single day, leaving the customer with:

A brand-new soil pipe installed to modern standards.
Peace of mind knowing the asbestos was safely removed and disposed of.
Full compliance documentation to prove safe handling of the asbestos.

The customer was extremely relieved and happy with the outcome, noting how professional and efficient our team were throughout the process.
