Some of the most sensitive asbestos projects take place in buildings that never close. In October 2025, Innov8 UK Group carried out licensed asbestos removal at an occupied care home in Crosby, Liverpool — a project where protecting residents and staff, and doing so discreetly, mattered as much as the removal itself.
The work involved removing asbestos thermal insulation residue and debris from pipework, brackets, a calorifier and pipe penetrations across a boiler room and two external plant rooms, along with an asbestos cement door panel, while an area of AIB panelling was encapsulated in place. It was a four-phase programme carried out over several weeks.
In a care home, you cannot simply seal off a wing and forget about the people beyond the enclosure. Our teams planned the work in phases to keep disruption minimal, screened the reception area so the boiler-room enclosure was out of sight, and positioned the waste skip to suit the building's constrained access. A memo was issued to staff so everyone knew what was happening and when.
Behind that discretion sat the full control regime: purpose-built enclosures under negative pressure, airlock and bag-lock entry, CCTV viewing stations, and an independent UKAS analyst certifying clearance before any area was handed back.
The same month, our teams also removed a hidden AIB garage ceiling from an occupied home in Manchester — the ACM concealed above plasterboard, with no prior survey, on a residential street where several properties share the same original construction. Whether it is a care home, a hospital ward, a school or a family house, removing asbestos from an occupied building is about combining strict fibre control with genuine care for the people who use the space.
Innov8 UK Group specialises in exactly that — licensed asbestos removal that keeps buildings running and occupants safe.
