Removal of asbestos containing ceiling boards from the dining area and kitchen at a private school About the project:
Our services:
Deconstruct were selected by the client’s consultant to remove asbestos boarding and contamination from within the ceiling voids above the dining area and kitchen at this private school. The ceiling was constructed of fibreboard above which an asbestos cement board had been used to line the underside of the timber joists. The asbestos boarding had become damaged over time and debris was scattered extensively throughout. Deconstruct’s team removed the ceiling and board under fully controlled conditions and carried out a full decontamination of the area to enable refurbishment work to continue.

Project challenges:
Builders Works
This project was undertaken during the summer holidays so the school was empty of students. Needless to say, that whenever undertaking an asbestos removal project within a school, the standard of work has to be exemplary with everything checked and double checked. Our operatives worked to a demanding programme and were faced with a number of challenges during the course of the work. The void space above the ceiling was in excess of 2m at the highest point necessitating the erection of access towers inside the work area. Whilst most services inside the work area were isolated, rogue circuits were none to be present and caution had to be exercised when working around these.
