Absolutely delighted with the service received. It took me at least six months from receiving an initial quote to approving it (my own fault for the delay) but Tracy in the office was incredibly patient and helpful answering any questions I had. The team arrived on the day arranged and left the area clean and tidy. They even took some extra rubbish which I'd accidentally left so bonus points for that! Really happy and would 100% recommend. I did shop around and they're prices are the most competitive in Derby. 10/10!

From my initial contact to the completion of my garage ceiling asbestos AIB board removal the service I received was five star. I was very impressed with the whole team who were both friendly, very experienced and completed the work in the specified time. I would recommend this company as it can be a very stressful time but they talked me through every step and could not be more responsive to my needs.

From the initial survey to the removal Midlands Asbestos Solutions have been quick, efficient, communicated clearly and helpful. I had them do a survey of my house before having some work done given the age of the property. They did a thorough survey and thankfully found the small bit of asbestos in the aga. This inquisitive mindset went beyond the walls and ceilings, helping us to make our home safe and compliant. The guys who came round to do the removal were great too.

Requested a sample of some floor tiles found under existing kitchen floor. Very friendly and helpful staff member answered the phoned. Appointment was made and someone came round and collected the sample which is then sent to a UKAS accredited lab. Results received a few days later with certificate. No asbestos found fortunately. Yes it is more expensive than doing these ones where you do it yourself and post it off, but you know it is done right, also they have a lot more overheads to cover.

FAQS

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about asbestos millboard products.

Asbestos insulation boards are heat resistant sheets made with asbestos fibres, often used for insulation, fireproofing, and electrical panels.

Asbestos millboard is typically found in old heating equipment, furnaces, and electrical panels and it was used in both domestic and industrial applications before the use of asbestos products was banned .

Yes, Asbestos millboards are hazardous as they can release asbestos fibres if broken or damaged which poses a serious health risk if inhaled.

The removal process involves isolating the area and carefully extracting the millboard to prevent any fibre release. Disposal must follow strict regulatory guidelines so we recommend you get in touch with us at 0115 932 6521 or [email protected] if you believe you have any asbestos millboards in your property.

If asbestos millboard is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, it can sometimes be left in place and monitored. However, any damaged or deteriorating millboard should be removed by professionals.
