    Asbestos Specialist Teams At Tooley’s Court, Ipswich

    As a company Inner City Environmental will always work to help worthwhile causes and initiatives in the community.

    Asbestos Specialist Team Worked with Tooley’s Court, Ipswich

    Founded in 1550, Tooley’s Court provides picturesque sheltered accommodation in the heart of Ipswich. The choice of bedsits and one bedroom flats offer residents an independent way of life within a caring and supportive community.

    Tooley’s Court owes more than 400 years of development to Henry Tooley who in 1550 first provided houses for the elderly in Ipswich.

    Today Tooley’s Court is administered by Ipswich Foundation Street Charity whose Trustees are local men and women working together to provide independant sheltered accommodation.

    Over the years a number of generous donations have helped to ensure an extensive programme of expansion and modernisation.

    Tooley’s Court will continue to benefit from the wide ranging support it receives from the community.

    Our asbestos specialist teams had to work very closely with the team at Tooley’s Court to ensure residents were able to remain in the accommodation. The work was completed successfully and the management team were very pleased with the work.

    Helen Hewitt passed on this message:

    “Would you please pass on my sincere thanks to Carl, Cain and the team for the work they carried out at Tooley’s Court.
    They were very professional and extremely considerate to the elderly residents who live at Tooley’s.”

    Asbestos Specialist Removal Phase One

    Because of the age of Tooley’s Court the building contains asbestos as is the case with many buildings of a similar age and is completely safe to the residents living there. However the long term plans for such buildings are to remove the asbestos in a phased programme.

    Inner City were approached to carry out work to remove asbestos from the communal areas and were only to happy to help out by donating the work needed at cost.

  • Mesothelioma Awareness Day 2018?

    Mesothelioma Awareness Day 2018?

    Malignant mesothelioma is a rare, asbestos-related cancer. It forms on the protective tissues covering the lungs, abdomen and heart.

    Symptoms include coughing, chest pain and shortness of breath. Treatments combining surgery, radiation and chemotherapy improve survival and life expectancy.

    Mesothelioma Awareness Day 2018

    In America September 26th is Mesothelioma Awareness Day.

    The campaign needs your support. Mesothelioma survivors, caregivers and families across America
    need your signature to ban asbestos now.

    Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma. If asbestos is eliminated then Mesothelioma can be eliminated.

  • Removal of Asbestos Cement Sheets

    Removal of Asbestos Cement Sheets

    Asbestos Cement Sheet Removal Kent

    With Easter approaching and the weather looking is looking like it is going to be nice and sunny. Many of us will take advantage and carry out some good old DIY in the garden. One of the projects that you may be considering is removing the garage or shed roof.
    /strong>

    Before you even start have you established wether it is made of Asbestos Cement Sheets? If in doubt give Inner City Environmental a call on 01322 273517

    If you are a home owner and you think your roof is constructed from Asbestos Cement Sheets it is recommended that you call in a licensed asbestos company to remove and take away from site. Asbestos in any form is very dangerous to health.

    Inner City Environmental are an HSE licenced asbestos removal company and can provide this service to you in London and the South East.

    We will dispose of it to a licenced waste centre and provide you with the documentation you need to conform to the law. Please check that whoever you use is a licenced contractor with the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association.

    The DIY route

    However you can carry out this work yourself but will need to seek guidance which is available from the HSE asbestos essentials website or click and download their guide to removing Asbestos Cement Sheets here.

    The HSE website a wealth of information about the removal and management of asbestos.

    If  you decide to take on this work after checking you can meet the HSE criteria you will need to dispose of the asbestos. It is again recommended that you call in a company like Inner City Environmental to make sure you conform to the HSE guidelines.

    Asbestos Cement Sheet disposal in Kent

    Waste asbestos is accepted at all Kent County Council household waste recycling centres in Kent with the exception of the Sheerness site.

    But no more than 5 sacks (or equivalent) per month.

    The asbestos must be:

    • double bagged or wrapped in heavy duty plastic sheeting
    • not sticking out from the packaging
    • no more than 10 feet (3 metres) x 5 feet (1.5 metres)
    • kept damp

    Wear protective gloves and a face mask and do not break or cut it when handling.

    The asbestos container is kept locked for health and safety reasons. Please ask a member of staff on site to unlock the container for you.

    They will not be able to help you lift the asbestos.

  • Kier Testimony

    Kier Testimony

    We have received a very positive testimony from Kier following our recent works for them.

    The works were at Thomas Gainsborough School, Sudbury Suffolk.The works involved the removal of asbestos prior to the demolition of the original school buildings. Built in the 1970s. the buildings contained significant quantities of asbestos containing materials. Ian Powell, Senior Project Manager for Kier had this to say,
    “As expected, the removal of the asbestos prior to demolition was a difficult and protracted process which Inner City approached in a professional and highly competent manner – particularly the removal of the asbestos cement board from the exposed roof of a 1970s structures which was immediately adjacent to an occupied children’s nursery. At all times Inner City Site Supervisors approached the works in a diligent manner with a continuous emphasis on safety and the requirements of Health & Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016. We found Inner City to be proactive and highly capable with an ability to respond to change as the project progressed.”
    We would like to thank the project team who helped to make the project a great success.  We look forward to working with Kier again in the not too distant future.
