Inside older boilers, pipe flanges, ovens and industrial plant sit thousands of asbestos gaskets and rope seals, invisible until something is opened up.
01
Where you'll find them
Flange joints on heating and process pipework, boiler and flue seals, oven and kiln doors, pumps and valves in any plant installed before the mid-1980s.
02
The risk
Sealed in service they’re dormant; cracking a flange or stripping a boiler disturbs them. Maintenance teams need them on the asbestos register so no one opens a joint unaware.
03
Removal and cost
Usually handled as controlled non-licensed work during maintenance or decommissioning, wetted, removed intact and bagged at the joint. On strip-outs and demolition we sweep plant for gaskets as standard. Figures are industry guide rates, not Innov8 Group prices, we're typically cheaper. Contact us for an official quotation.
