1930s Bungalow in Corstorphine
We recently completed a comprehensive asbestos survey and selective removal in a 1930s bungalow in Corstorphine undergoing extension and renovation. Our West Edinburgh team identified asbestos in several locations including the garage roof, original boiler flue, external soffits, and textured ceiling coatings in the hallway, creating a tailored removal plan that accommodated the renovation schedule.
Commercial Building in South Gyle
A detailed asbestos management survey for a commercial property in South Gyle Business Park revealed asbestos materials in multiple locations including ceiling panels, partition wall insulation, and service risers. Our West Edinburgh specialists created a comprehensive management plan that allowed the business to continue operations while planning for safe, phased removals during scheduled downtime periods.
West Edinburgh Asbestos FAQs
Are Corstorphine bungalows high risk for asbestos?
Corstorphine's distinctive 1930s bungalows and 1950s/60s extended properties typically contain multiple asbestos-containing materials. We frequently find asbestos in garage roofs, soffit boards, original boiler flues, ceiling tiles, and Artex ceilings applied during 1970s modernizations. These properties often have asbestos in less obvious locations due to multiple renovation phases, requiring our specialized knowledge of West Edinburgh's suburban housing development periods.
How do you handle asbestos in Gorgie's tenement properties?
Gorgie's traditional tenement buildings present specific challenges with communal areas and service risers often containing shared asbestos materials. We take a coordinated approach to these buildings, working with property factors and multiple owners to implement comprehensive management strategies. For tenements that have undergone 1960s-80s renovations, we carefully assess textured coatings, fire insulation, communal pipework, and original service installations.
What approach do you take for West Edinburgh business premises?
For commercial properties in areas like South Gyle, Sighthill, and Gorgie industrial estates, we implement flexible working patterns that accommodate business operations. Our approach includes early morning surveys (pre-opening), weekend removals, and phased works scheduled during planned closures or quiet periods. We're experienced with the specific asbestos applications common in West Edinburgh's commercial buildings built between the 1960s and 1990s.
What are West Edinburgh asbestos removal costs?
Asbestos removal in West Edinburgh typically ranges from £500-£2,200 depending on material type, quantity, and specific location challenges. Residential garage roof removals and soffit replacements in areas like Corstorphine and Murrayfield are among our most common projects, generally costing £850-£1,400. Commercial projects in South Gyle and Sighthill vary widely based on scope, but we provide transparent, detailed quotes for all West Edinburgh asbestos work.
