Asbestos Removal in a Remote Farm Building

Hugh White, a farmer with a remote countryside property, faced a pressing need to remove asbestos cement ceiling panels and roofing from an old barn on his farm. The urgency was exacerbated when a recent storm knocked down the gable wall of the barn, leaving him with no choice but to dismantle the structure.

Upon seeking recommendations, Hugh was pointed toward G&L. He received three diverse quotes from different firms, but after careful consideration and negotiation, he decided G&L was the right fit for his needs. A major factor in this decision was the initial site meeting where G&L presented a detailed method statement and risk assessment, clearly outlining the scope of the work. Hugh found this to be thorough and reassuring, setting the stage for a well-defined project.

The barn’s location presented its own set of challenges. Situated remotely and having been previously used for cattle farming, the site had live farm conditions and some complications due to ivy and trees growing at the far end of the shed. Despite these complexities, G&L handled the project proficiently.

What stood out for Hugh was the professionalism in G&L’s communication. He was kept updated regularly throughout the project, which he greatly appreciated. In his own words, Hugh stated, “I recently used G&L for the removal of asbestos panels and roofing from an old remote farm building. My main contact was Alan, and I found him very easy to deal with. Communication was very professional, and I was kept updated on their progress throughout the job.”

In summary, Hugh was more than satisfied with the work G&L completed. The project not only met but exceeded his expectations, leading him to declare that he’d have “no hesitation in recommending G&L to anyone who needed similar work done.” This case study serves to highlight G&L’s expertise in managing remote asbestos removal projects, even in challenging conditions, and their commitment to client satisfaction through professional communication and robust planning.
