Removal of asbestos pipe insulation and asbestos contamination from throughout the loft space of the Drayton Court Hotel.
Client: Create Construction Ltd Location: Drayton Court Hotel, 2 The Avenue, West Ealing, London Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd Completion Date: January 2011Sector: 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.

Asbestos surveying and removal from within the ceiling voids of the guest accommodation areas at a boutique hotel
Client: Boutique HotelLocation: London W1 Contractor: Deconstruct UK Ltd Completion Date: September 2011Sector: Hotels
About the project:
Prior to the installation of a new air conditioning system, Deconstruct were invited to visit the hotel and advise the hotel owner on their responsibilities under the Control of Asbestos Regulations.A refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey was recommended and subsequently carried out within the areas that the new air conditioning was to be installed. Asbestos insulation board was identified to various locations within the ceiling void and Deconstruct’s experienced team of operatives then safely removed this.
Project challenges:
Throughout the asbestos survey and removal process the hotel remained open although the areas in which our teams worked were vacated.The asbestos survey was completed and the findings promptly reported. Notification to remove the asbestos was submitted to the Health & Safety Executive and the works duly completed to enable the air conditioning to be installed without the risk of disturbing asbestos. The works were planned and carried out in a manner that ensured there was no contact with hotel guests at any time.
