Safe Removal of AIB Prior to Domestic Renovation in Moddershall

Following a recent independent asbestos survey commissioned by a homeowner in Moddershall, Staffordshire, Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) was identified in multiple locations throughout the property.

With renovation works planned, the client contacted AIB Solutions after reviewing the findings from their asbestos survey.

Given the high-risk nature of AIB, early intervention was essential to prevent fibre release and potential contamination during refurbishment works.

Initial Consultation & Professional Advice

After a detailed on-site consultation at the Moddershall property, we:

  • Reviewed the asbestos survey report
  • Identified all confirmed AIB locations
  • Assessed how the planned renovation works could disturb materials
  • Provided clear removal options
  • Offered proactive advice to prevent delays or compliance issues

AIB (Asbestos Insulating Board) is classified as a licensable asbestos material, meaning removal must be carried out by a fully licensed contractor under strictly controlled conditions.

As experienced licensed asbestos removal contractors operating across Staffordshire, we ensured the client understood the legal requirements, safety controls and timescales involved before works commenced.

Fully Controlled AIB Removal Works

Due to the presence of AIB within the Moddershall property, the project required a full licensed removal setup, including:

  • Purpose-built enclosure construction
  • Air-lock and bag-lock entry systems
  • Negative pressure units
  • Controlled wet removal techniques
  • Licensed hazardous waste disposal
  • Independent four-stage clearance testing

These measures form part of our specialist asbestos removal services, ensuring total containment and regulatory compliance.

All works were carried out in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

The enclosure systems installed (as shown in the images) prevented the escape of airborne fibres and ensured the safety of both occupants and neighbouring properties.

Air Monitoring & Clearance Certification

Following completion of the removal works:

  • The enclosure was thoroughly cleaned
  • Independent analysts conducted reassurance air monitoring
  • A full four-stage clearance procedure was completed
  • A Certificate of Reoccupation was issued

This confirms the areas are safe and ready for renovation works to continue.
