In August 2024, Circle UK Group Ltd was commissioned by one of London Council to deliver a critical programme of asbestos removal and remedial works at one of its community-based facilities. The project aimed to ensure the site’s safe restoration following the identification of hazardous asbestos-containing materials, preparing the space for full reoccupation and continued public service.
Services Delivered: Asbestos Removal, Environmental Remediation & Internal Refurbishment
To provide a fully compliant, safety-first asbestos removal and environmental remediation service, followed by comprehensive internal refurbishment — all within a tight operational window to minimise disruption to public operations.
The works included the controlled removal of Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)ceiling panels across two storage cupboards (approx. 21.5m²) and localised removal of asbestos floor tiles (approx. 10m²), carried out under full enclosure and negative pressure systems.
All works were completed under strict environmental and HSE regulations, ensuring zero risk to personnel or public users.
Working within an active civic environment required meticulous safety coordination. Circle UK Group implemented controlled exclusion zones, safety signage, and proactive engagement with facility users to maintain full public safety.
During pre-removal inspections, substantial floor deterioration was identified. Our team rapidly adjusted scope and deployed on-site carpentry resources to complete repairs within the same day — keeping the project on schedule.
The asbestos removal was restricted to a three-day weekend window (9–11 August). Through precise planning, sequencing, and supervision, the works were completed on time, meeting all clearance and handover deadlines.
The project underwent an independent compliance audit, achieving an outstanding 100% compliance rating with only one minor observation noted.
Upon completion, the site was fully decontaminated, refurbished, and certified safe for reoccupation, reinstating a high-quality working environment for council staff and visitors.
Circle UK Group successfully delivered a fast-track, technically complex remediation project with zero incidents, zero delays, and full regulatory compliance.
This project highlights our commitment to quality, safety, and reliability — reinforcing our position as a trusted partner for local authorities and public-sector remediation works.
“Circle UK Group demonstrated exceptional professionalism and efficiency throughout the project. Their proactive communication and high safety standards ensured seamless delivery within a challenging timeframe.”
