Syrian House is based in Sale and is a place that promotes independence, rehabilitation, recovery and social inclusion. It was key that we were able to conclude our work in a timely manner, to ensure the great work of this facility wasn’t hindered by our presence there.
The work undertaken was the licensed removal of thermal insulation from the boiler room, which took place under fully controlled conditions, this was followed by a full decontamination and encapsulation of walls during the 4-stage clearance process.
With the work taking place during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions in ways of working in place made this project a little more challenging. However, we introduced processes and guidance to ensure the work could be undertaken in a COVID safe environment. We introduced:
- A one-way system, designed around a welfare unit
- Steel fencing to segregate safely
- Washing points around the site
- Signage to provide clarity on the guidelines
All the work was witnessed by the independent analyst, who was present on the site throughout the duration of the works.
The project was fully audited by ASL internal auditing team, ACAD, ARCA and an unannounced HSE visit. We were issued with an excellence in standards by ACAD.
Work was completed to our very high standard, was in line with what was in the agreed scope, within agreed timescales and to budget.

Lancaster University current enrolls over 15,000 students with an impressive 560 acre parkland site. The university also proudly boosts its collegiate system, which only a handful of universities in the UK adhere too. As students stay within just one college during their enrollment, the upkeep of buildings and construction is vital for the safety and welfare of students and staff.
All works carried out were meticulously planned in conjunction with the University’s principle contractor and were successfully completed within the proposed timescale, budget and to scope.
There have been several licensed and non-licensed works carried out within this partnership to a total value of £150,000. The most recent works include asbestos abatement within four large boiler rooms. Due to the size and layouts of these rooms the work was complex but removed successfully.
We have also conducted a number of remedial works in confined space conditions throughout the north and south spine of the University with our experienced confined space team, safely removing asbestos to allow the University’s contractors access to their spine duct network.
During the past 12 months, Amianto Services have successfully and safely removed approximately 80 tonnes of waste. The work carried out within Lancaster University has contributed to this number and demonstrates the extensive removal work carried out within the company.

Our work is designed to cause as minimal disruption as possible, for example, our complex enclosure design ensured the hospital could remain open throughout and maintain full operations. In addition, we have worked through the night, out of hours weekend working and used careful planning to minimise disruption and ensure the safest of working practices are maintained at all times.
Work was completed to our very high standard, was in line with what was in the agreed scope, within agreed timescales and to budget.
