Asbestos Encapsulation and Repair across Merseyside
Dock warehouses, Victorian terraces, 1960s system-built schools and huge post-war estates mean asbestos is a daily issue for Merseyside landlords and contractors.
Encapsulation means coating or enclosing an asbestos material to stop it releasing fibres. A specialist sealant soaks into or coats the surface, and damaged edges are repaired.
Guide price: From £350.
