Edinburgh removal detailsEdinburgh City Centre Asbestos Project Examples
Listed Townhouse in New Town
We recently completed a comprehensive asbestos survey and selective removal project in a Category A listed Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh's New Town. Our City Centre team identified several asbestos-containing materials while working closely with conservation officers to ensure all remediation work preserved the property's historic features.
Commercial Building on Royal Mile
A comprehensive pre-refurbishment asbestos survey for a 19th-century commercial building on the Royal Mile revealed significant asbestos materials in several areas. Our Edinburgh City Centre specialists created a detailed management and removal plan that accommodated the building's historic status and the limited access constraints of the Old Town location.
Edinburgh City Centre Asbestos FAQs
How do you handle asbestos in Edinburgh's listed buildings?
Working with asbestos in Edinburgh's listed buildings requires specialized approaches. We coordinate closely with Historic Environment Scotland and Edinburgh Council's conservation officers to develop appropriate methodologies. For Category A and B listed properties in the Old and New Towns, we use minimally invasive techniques and ensure any remediation work preserves historic features while ensuring safety compliance.
Are there special considerations for Edinburgh tenements?
Edinburgh's traditional tenement buildings present unique asbestos challenges. Common areas such as stairwells, basement stores, and service ducts often contain shared asbestos materials requiring coordinated management between multiple property owners. We have specific protocols for Edinburgh tenements that address these shared responsibilities while working within the constraints of these historic structures.
How do you manage city centre access restrictions?
We're well-versed in Edinburgh City Centre's access challenges, including narrow closes, pedestrianized areas, and traffic restrictions. For locations like the Royal Mile, Grassmarket and New Town, we use specialized compact equipment, schedule work during optimal periods (avoiding festival seasons when possible), and coordinate closely with Edinburgh Council for necessary permits and temporary access arrangements.
What are Edinburgh City Centre asbestos removal costs?
Asbestos removal in Edinburgh City Centre typically ranges from £600-£2,400 depending on material type, quantity, and the specific constraints of historic buildings. While City Centre projects often involve additional considerations for heritage properties and access restrictions, we provide transparent, detailed quotes that account for these factors while remaining competitive for the Edinburgh market.
