In recent years the hazards caused by the past widespread use of asbestos in fire protection and insulation have become apparent. Damage and decay cause carcinogenic fibres to be released into the air. If inhaled these fibres can cause very serious diseases. Our Asbestos Contractors are highly experienced in the field of asbestos disposal to make your property asbestos safe.
Our service starts with a detailed report that outlines recommended treatment techniques, time requirements, specifications and the cost implications. Following this often the complete removal of all asbestos in-situ is recommended as the best solution. Although in some instances it may be feasible to seal the affected surfaces and protect them from further damage.

Fibre Suppression
The pretreatment of asbestos before the removal means that present fibre labels in the sealed work can be reduced dramatically as laid out by Regulation 8 of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987. These regulations give safer working conditions to operators and lowers any risk to people beyond the work environment.
D. Newcombe Services use a unique Safestrip injection delivery system that thoroughly wets the material containing the asbestos prior to removal when possible. The Safestrip system delivers the advanced wetting agent Astrip, at controlled rates between 10 and 2500 litres per hour. There have been numerous field trials that have shown remarkable results, reducing asbestos fibre release significantly to levels previously thought unreachable.
Safestrip is the pioneer of controlled wetting and their patented system has been successfully tested and is used by major companies Ford, Du Pont, as well as by local authorities.
We at D. Newcombe Services can back this system with proven further safety measures like approved respiratory apparatus and negative pressure units. Skilled engineers and hazard control consultants work together to minimise hazards in the work zone and its environment.
Removal and Reinstatement
D. Newcombe Services has well established relationships with the Health and Safety Executive, local councils, water and fire authorities and independent testing laboratories due to our focus on the explicit regulations concerning asbestos removal.
We ensure site disruption is kept to a minimum by the use of extraction machines and mobile towers. Once complete the final process is a thorough cleansing to ensure a safe working environment.
We are also able to undertake supplementary operations like recladding, re-insulation and reinstatement of decorations simultaneously with removal or treatment.
