Specialist Asbestos Removal in Monaghan 👷‍♂️

Stage 1 of this project focused on the safe removal of all identified asbestos-containing materials from the buildings by our specialist asbestos removal team.

The project presented its challenges, with significant quantities of hidden asbestos uncovered during the works that had not been identified in the original asbestos survey.

Thanks to the experience and knowledge of our team, these additional materials were identified, assessed and safely managed and removed in line with the required procedures.

It’s another reminder of the importance of having an experienced specialist team on site when dealing with complex demolition and asbestos removal projects.

Safety, experience and attention to detail matter — especially when the unexpected turns up.
