The Project
We do remove many of these.
The removal of a domestic boiler cupboard enclosure constructed from AIB.
The work was carried out promptly and efficiently to allow a boiler replacement.
Boiler Room Walls
AIB was used extensively as an insulation material for cupboards and room that housed a boiler.

Boiler Room AIB Walls
AIB was commonly used as an insulation, hence the name Asbestos Insulation Board
Damaged AIB
AIB can be a very dangerous asbestos material when it is damaged.
Rooms and cupboards where this material is still fitted to the walls should be surveyed and removed at the soonest opportunity.
When AIB is broken, as shown adjacent to the left of the flue pipe in this picture, the asbestos fibres can get airborne and the danger increases significantly.
Safe removal by an HSE licensed company like ours is the only way to eliminate the risk, especially of there is work to be done in the boiler room.
That is exactly what happened in this project. The boiler needed replacement but before a plumber could start work, the AIB was removed and the room surfaces made safe.
