Itโ€™s not always about winning the job!

We were really pleased to receive this fantastic 5 โญ Google review recently.

The customer contacted us late on a Friday evening after discovering asbestos-containing vinyl tiles during ongoing works. They were understandably looking for a quick solution, and Liam Shorter was able to respond promptly and provide a competitive quotation at very short notice.

On this occasion, the customer ultimately went with another company who were able to assist a couple of days sooner due to our busy schedule and thatโ€™s absolutely fine.

What meant a lot to us was that, despite not using our services, they still took the time to leave such a positive review and specifically mention the responsiveness, consideration and competitiveness of our service.

For us, thatโ€™s a great reminder that how you deal with people matters just as much as the work itself.

When asbestos is unexpectedly discovered during a project, we understand that clients often need clear advice, quick communication and a straightforward way forward. Even if we arenโ€™t ultimately the company carrying out the work, we want every customer who contacts Strata Asbestos Consultancy to feel theyโ€™ve been treated properly.

A huge thank you to the customer for taking the time to leave this review and to Liam for representing Strata so well. ๐Ÿ‘

We really appreciate it.

๐ŸŽ‰ STRATA IS 1! ๐ŸŽ‰
Today marks one whole year of Strata โ€” and what a year itโ€™s been!
12 months ago, we took the leap and started Strata with a simple goal: to provide a professional, reliable and genuinely client-focused service within the asbestos industry.
Since then, weโ€™ve worked with some fantastic clients, completed countless projects, built new relationships and, most importantly, continued to grow as a business.
Weโ€™re incredibly proud of how far weโ€™ve come in just one year, but weโ€™re even more excited about whatโ€™s ahead. ๐Ÿš€
A huge thank you to all of our clients, contractors, suppliers, colleagues, friends and family who have supported Strata along the way. Every enquiry, recommendation, project and conversation has helped us get to where we are today.
And of course, a massive thank you to the Strata team โ€” this wouldnโ€™t be possible without you.
๐Ÿฅ‚ One year down. The best is yet to come.
Hereโ€™s to the next chapter of Strata! ๐Ÿ’™

โš ๏ธ Asbestos Garage Roof Removal โ€“ Wickford, Essex

Another asbestos removal project safely completed by Strata Asbestos Consultancy, this time at a residential property in Wickford, Essex.

The asbestos sheets were removed in a controlled manner, appropriately packaged and transported for disposal at an authorised waste facility, leaving the garage clear and ready for the replacement roof and next stage of works.

โš ๏ธ Asbestos Floor Tile Waste Collection โ€“ Bexley

A slightly different asbestos waste collection completed in Bexley.

The asbestos-containing floor tiles had already been removed and were mixed amongst general building rubble within the black rubble sacks visible at the front of the waste pile.

Our job was to carefully sort through the affected waste, identify and segregate the asbestos floor tile debris, before correctly packaging the material for safe transportation and disposal as hazardous waste.

Situations like this highlight why suspected asbestos materials should ideally be identified before refurbishment or clearance works begin. Once asbestos becomes mixed with general building waste, dealing with it can become considerably more complicated.

โš ๏ธ Asbestos Floor Tile Removal & Disposal โ€“ Bristol โš ๏ธ

Another asbestos removal project completed in Bristol, involving the safe removal and disposal of asbestos-containing floor tiles from the kitchen of a residential property.

Although asbestos floor tiles are generally considered a lower-risk asbestos-containing material, they still need to be handled correctly. When tiles are damaged, lifted, drilled, sanded or disturbed during refurbishment works, there is the potential for asbestos fibres to be released.

Our works included:

๐Ÿ”น Controlled removal of the asbestos-containing floor tiles
๐Ÿ”น Appropriate measures to minimise breakage and fibre release
๐Ÿ”น Suitable PPE and RPE throughout the works
๐Ÿ”น Careful cleaning of the work area following removal
๐Ÿ”น Secure packaging and transportation of the asbestos waste
๐Ÿ”น Disposal at an appropriately authorised waste facility
๐Ÿ”น Relevant waste documentation provided on completion

With the asbestos tiles removed, the kitchen can now progress with the planned refurbishment works without the old floor covering presenting an unnecessary asbestos risk.

At Strata Asbestos Consultancy, we can assist with both the identification and safe removal of non-licensed asbestos materials, providing clients with a straightforward service from initial survey or sampling through to removal and disposal.

๐Ÿ”Ž Whatโ€™s hiding beneath the surface?

Another Refurbishment Asbestos Survey completed in Solihull, ahead of planned improvement works to a residential property.

Refurbishment surveys are intrusive by their very nature. The purpose isnโ€™t simply to inspect the visible finishes โ€“ itโ€™s to investigate the areas that are likely to be disturbed once the refurbishment work begins.

During our inspection, a number of suspect materials were identified that could easily have remained concealed without intrusive investigation, including:

๐Ÿ”น Cement-based ceiling panels concealed above existing plasterboard ceilings
๐Ÿ”น Older floor tiles beneath later floor coverings
๐Ÿ”น Bituminous adhesive associated with the floor tiles
๐Ÿ”น A gasket associated with the heating element of the hot water cylinder

The concealed ceiling panels are a particularly good example of why simply looking at the current ceiling finish isn't sufficient before refurbishment. A modern or non-asbestos surface finish does not necessarily tell you what remains behind or above it.

Likewise, properties can contain several generations of floor coverings, with older tiles and adhesives remaining concealed beneath newer finishes.

A suitable refurbishment survey should be planned around the proposed works and investigate as far as reasonably practicable into the building fabric before contractors begin disturbing it.

Finding these materials during the survey allows them to be properly assessed and, where necessary, dealt with under controlled conditions โ€“ rather than being unexpectedly discovered once the project is underway.

Did you know asbestos wasn't just used in buildings? ๐Ÿค”

When most people hear the word asbestos, they immediately think of old houses, schools or industrial buildings.

But the reality is that asbestos was used in thousands of products across many different industries because of its excellent heat resistance, fire resistance and durability.

It can still be found in unexpected places, including:

๐Ÿš‚ Historic steam locomotives and railway carriages

๐Ÿš— Classic and vintage vehicles

๐Ÿญ Historic industrial machinery and manufacturing equipment

โš“ Marine vessels and engineering plant

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Historic artefacts and museum collections containing original components

Whilst many asbestos professionals work in accordance with HSG264: Asbestos โ€“ The Survey Guide, it's worth remembering that this guidance is primarily focused on surveying buildings. Heritage assets, railway rolling stock, vehicles and industrial artefacts often require an understanding of how asbestos was historically incorporated into these specialist items.

Whether you're restoring a classic car, preserving a steam locomotive, maintaining historic machinery or caring for museum collections, asbestos may still be present within original components.

Understanding where it may be found is the first step in protecting those involved in restoration, maintenance and conservation work.

Have you ever come across asbestos somewhere unexpected? We'd be interested to hear your experiences in the comments.
