Deconstruct UK was contracted to remove asbestos contamination from the roof space of a hospital ward in June 2011. The asbestos insulation on the heating pipework in the 120m2 roof had deteriorated, spreading contamination. Deconstruct removed all contaminated materials, including fibreglass insulation and pipe lagging. They then cleaned all surfaces with 'tac' rags and h-type vacuum cleaners. Precautions had to be taken to avoid contaminating the live hospital areas below during the methodical decontamination process.
