Asbestos Removal at Tutbury Castle

Project Overview

AIB Solutions was appointed to carry out specialist asbestos removal works at Tutbury Castle, one of Staffordshire’s most recognisable historic landmarks.

The project involved the safe removal and disposal of asbestos-containing textured decorative coatings across multiple rooms within the Castle.

Working within a heritage environment requires precision, control and respect for the surrounding structure. This was not simply a removal project — it demanded a careful balance between regulatory compliance and preservation sensitivity.

As a trusted provider of Asbestos Removal in Staffordshire, our team regularly delivers projects in complex and sensitive environments.

Scope of Works

The works included:

• Identification of asbestos-containing textured coatings
• Controlled removal using approved working methods
• Fibre suppression and containment procedures
• Careful waste handling and compliant disposal
• Thorough cleaning of affected areas

Where required, projects of this nature are supported by professional Asbestos Testing & Surveys to confirm material type and ensure the correct control measures are implemented.

All operations were completed in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and relevant HSE guidance.

Working Within a Historic Environment

Tutbury Castle is a protected heritage site with significant historical value. Projects of this nature require:
