Most water tanks made from asbestos cement were installed before the year 2000. While they're generally safe if left alone and in good condition, disturbing them can release harmful asbestos fibres into the air. This is why attempting DIY removal is really risky. Whether you're renovating, replacing an old tank, or just discovered one, getting professionals involved is crucial for your health and the safety of everyone around. Our team has the specific qualifications and experience to manage this delicate work properly.

When you call us about an asbestos water tank in Saxmundham, here’s how we make sure everything runs smoothly and safely:

• Initial Chat & Assessment: We’ll talk through your situation, offering honest advice. Sometimes we can give a good idea of costs straight away; other times, we might suggest a quick visit to look at the tank’s condition and location.
• Safe Isolation & Preparation: Before any work begins, we’ll make sure the area is fully contained and all necessary safety measures are in place to prevent any fibre release.
• Careful Removal: Our highly trained operatives, wearing full personal protective equipment, will carefully dismantle and remove the tank. We focus on minimising breakage to keep dust to an absolute minimum.
• Thorough Clean-up: After removal, we meticulously clean the area, often using specialist HEPA vacuum cleaners to pick up any stray fibres.
• Compliant Disposal: All asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, and taken directly to a licensed hazardous waste facility. We always give you the correct paperwork (consignment notes) as proof of safe and legal disposal.
