North Edinburgh removal detailsNorth Edinburgh Asbestos Project Examples
Warehouse Conversion in Leith
We recently completed a comprehensive asbestos survey and major removal project in a former dockside warehouse in Leith being converted to apartments. Our North Edinburgh team identified extensive asbestos in roof linings, sprayed coatings on structural steelwork, and pipe insulation throughout the building, requiring specialized removal techniques suitable for the building's heritage status.
Georgian Property in Trinity
A detailed asbestos management survey for a substantial Georgian property in Trinity revealed asbestos materials from multiple renovation periods. Our North Edinburgh specialists identified and safely managed asbestos in a 1970s boiler installation, textured ceilings in service areas, and asbestos cement flue pipes, creating a property-specific management plan for the homeowner.
North Edinburgh Asbestos FAQs
Are former port buildings in Leith high risk for asbestos?
Yes, Leith's industrial and port buildings typically contain significant amounts of asbestos due to their construction during peak asbestos usage periods (1950s-1980s). Warehouses, factories, and dock facilities often feature spray-applied asbestos for fire protection, insulation to pipes and boilers, and asbestos cement roofing and cladding. These industrial-scale applications require specialized assessment and removal approaches that our North Edinburgh team is specifically experienced in managing.
How do you handle coastal properties in Newhaven and Trinity?
Properties in coastal areas like Newhaven and Trinity require special consideration due to environmental factors. Salt air exposure can accelerate deterioration of some asbestos materials, particularly external asbestos cement products. We account for these environmental impacts when assessing risk and planning removal. Additionally, many coastal properties have undergone multiple renovations over different eras, resulting in various layers of potential asbestos materials that require comprehensive assessment.
What approach do you take for waterfront regeneration projects?
North Edinburgh's waterfront regeneration areas in Granton and Leith present complex asbestos challenges. For these projects, we typically implement a phased approach beginning with comprehensive pre-demolition surveys, followed by carefully sequenced removal that aligns with development timelines. We coordinate closely with developers, planning authorities, and environmental agencies to ensure all waterfront-specific regulations are met, particularly regarding containment and waste management near water.
What are North Edinburgh asbestos removal costs?
Asbestos removal in North Edinburgh typically ranges from £550-£3,000 depending on material type, quantity, and specific location challenges. Industrial-scale asbestos removal in former Leith and Granton warehouses generally involves larger quantities and more complex applications, while residential work in Trinity and Inverleith addresses smaller but often more intricate challenges in premium properties. We provide transparent, detailed quotes for all North Edinburgh asbestos work.
