Client: Ayerst Environmental Ltd
Stakeholder: London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
Location: Aspen Gardens Community Centre, London W6
Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd
Completion Date: April 2011
Sector: Public Buildings
Decontamination of asbestos from boiler house in local community centre.
About the project:
Project challenges:
This project was undertaken adjacent to a live Community Centre that was in constant use, so it was imperative that our operatives carried out the works as discretely as possible and conducted themselves professionally at all times. The access to the working area was directly off the public highway, so a secure timber hoarding had to be erected around the entrance to the boiler room.
An operative was stationed outside the entrance to the enclosure at all times, during working hours, to ensure that no unauthorised people entered the work area.

Client: Ayerst Environmental Ltd
Stakeholder: Aspen Health Care
Location: Holly House Hospital,Buckhurst Hill, Essex
Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd
Completion Date: July 2011
Sector: Healthcare Estates
To carry out a full decontamination of the boiler room at Holly House Private Hospital 
About the project:
Deconstruct were appointed by the client’s asbestos consultants to carry out a full decontamination of the main boiler house that served the entire hospital.
Asbestos had been removed from the boiler house previously, but works had been carried out to a very poor standard so residual contamination remained. The Deconstruct team had to carefully clean around all plant, pipework and electrical switch gear to enable the hospitals engineers to work safely within the boilerhouse, without the risk of exposure to asbestos fibres.
Project challenges:
The work area contained many pipes and cables that all had to be cleaned. Careful separation and cleaning of the cables, a slow and labour intensive process was necessary. All walls and pipework were thoroughly cleaned using hand tools.
The boilerhouse was located directly beneath the administrative heart of the hospital. The work was co-ordinated and planned to use the single point of access directly onto the rear of the boilerhouse, thereby keeping our works well away from hospital staff and the public.
Client: ISG Plc
Location: Harris Academy, East Dulwich, London
Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd
Completion Date: July 2010
Sector: Education
Removal of asbestos insulation board roof soffits from a teaching block at the Harris Academy for Girls, London.
About the project:
The project brief was to safely remove the asbestos insulation board soffits from the eaves of the main roof to the teaching block.
The project was for ISG who had been commissioned directly by the academy to refurbish the building. The main refurbishment scheme had to be completed during the summer break, so it was imperative that works were fully considered and planned to satisfy the programme.
Project challenges:
The project was undertaken in a educational environment and it was vital that the works were carried out to the highest standards with the asbestos being completely removed and the area left ’spotlessly’ clean.
The asbestos removal was the first ‘construction’ activity on site and any delay would impact upon the overall programme. Enclosures were constructed in an external environment and had to be robust enough to withstand adverse weather conditions.
Client: Clements Retail Ltd Location: Regent Street, London W1
Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd
Completion Date: November 2010
Sector: Retail
Removal of asbestos insulation debris from within major high street retail outlet in the heart of London’s West End.
About the project:
The project involved the removal of asbestos insulation debris from pipework and low level wall surfaces. The asbestos debris is likely to emanate from a previous asbestos removal project carried out to a poor standard. The debris was identified during a refurbishment and demolition survey carried out in advance of the shop re-fit work commencing.
Project challenges:
This project was undertaken in the heart of London’s West End on one of the busiest shopping streets in the country.
All plant and equipment was delivered outside normal working hours to minimise contact with the general public. Waste was also removed from the building on an out-of-hours ‘wait and load’ basis. Deconstruct Operatives had to ‘transit’ to the decontamination unit that was sited on the adjacent road, whilst wearing their respiratory protective equipment (RPE). This required careful planning and timing was of the essence so as to avoid unnecessary alarm to the public.

Client: Balfour Beatty Plc
Location: Charecroft Estate, Shepherds Bush, London
Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd Completion Date: May 2011
Sector: Construction (Residential)
Removal of asbestos containing materials from occupied high rise residential buildings in Shepherds Bush, London.
About the project:
Over the course of 6 months Deconstruct teams were engaged in the removal of asbestos insulation board, duct cladding and wall panels throughout the residential tower blocks at the Charecroft Estate.
The cladding and panelling was typically located in kitchens and hallways, which meant that residents had to leave their properties for the day to enable tented enclosures to be constructed. Enclosures were formed, asbestos removed, enclosures tested and site cleared each day to allow the resident to return to a safe environment that same day.
Project challenges:
The work was undertaken inside occupied flats containing resident’s personal property so our works had to be carried out in a neat and tidy manner, ensuring that no damage was caused.
Our trusted teams of Operatives prepared the work areas with due consideration for the decoration within the properties. The asbestos removal operation had to be completed to exacting standards as there could be no risk of asbestos contamination into the property.

- Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd
- Completion Date: January 2011
- Sector: Hotel
Removal of asbestos pipe insulation and asbestos contamination from throughout the loft space of the Drayton Court Hotel
About the project:
The Hotel was undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment programme. During the refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey, extensive contamination was identified throughout the loft space.
The loft space was of traditional construction, built with sawn timber. The ceilings were lathe and plaster and the loft space was insulated with fibreglass quilt. All insulation had to be removed as contaminated waste, all timbers vacuumed and the lathe and plaster ceiling cleaned of all dust.
Project challenges:
The work within this environment was complicated due to restrictions on head height and tight spaces at the eaves. Access throughout the roof space was enabled through the use of Youngman boards spread across the joists. Meticulous care was taken not to stand on the lathe and plaster ceiling, as a hole would breach the enclosure and cause contamination into the underlying area.
There was no natural light or existing artificial light within the loft space, so it was necessary for our Operatives to install extensive task lighting to ensure that all contamination could be seen and cleaned.
Client: BAM Construction Ltd
Location: Africa House, Kingsway
Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd
Completion Date: June 2011
Sector: Construction
Asbestos removal from landmark listed building in central London: Africa House
About the project:
We were appointed by BAM to carry out a major ‘cut and carve’ package on this high profile scheme within central London. Asbestos was present in various forms throughout the building, but predominantly as hardset asbestos insulation within the risers serving the central core, also as an insulation board lining to the main lift shaft. Additionally, isolated incidences of notifiable and non-notifiable asbestos were identified throughout the building that required removal.
BRIERLEY Hill Library will be closed next week to allow the removal of asbestos.
The High Street facility will be shut from Monday, January 9 after asbestos was discovered on the second floor.
Duirng the closure the housing office, which is located on the ground floor will remain open as normal.
Residents will also be able to call the Citizens Advice Bureau as normal but will not be able to visit during that week. Councillor Adrian Turner, cabinet member for housing, libraries and adult learning, said: “Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of all staff and visitors to the library. Although it is unfortunate the library has to close for one week, it is necessary to ensure the asbestos can be removed safely. There will be no risk for people choosing to visit the housing office during that week; it will be business as usual.”
