Economic Insulations Ltd was formed in 1957 to carry out thermal insulation for the building industry. Economic Insulations Ltd also incorporates Economic Insulations (Asbestos Removal) Ltd which deals with the asbestos removal and waste disposal side of the business. Listed below are some of the services that we provide:

THERMAL INSULATION

We carry out a wide range of thermal insulation services. We install insulation to general building fabric to reduce heat loss. We can install hot, cold and refrigeration pipework insulation to comply with M.&.E. Nos. 3 and 100. We are the sole suppliers of "VALVEWRAPS" which are a substitute for valve boxes. These can be made in a variety of materials and are fixed with Velcro, which make removal and replacement very easy. We also insulate hot surfaces to prevent burns and scalding and therefore comply with health and safety regulations. We have carried out insulation works on large water tanks, Digester and sewerage tanks and pipework and bitumen plants. We can offer a wide range of material types and finishes to match both your engineering and financial requirements. We guarantee a high standard of service and provide method statements and risk assessments were required. Our projects include work at HM Dockyards and MOD establishments throughout the country.

FIRE PROOFING & FIRE INSULATION

Fire regulations are becoming more stringent! So we are able to offer a service to provide fireproof insulation to both the  Building and Marine industries. Fire curtains, to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within building cavities is a speciality. We can carry out insulation to both building structures and to ventilation ductwork in order to provide a fire rating up of up to 2 hours. In addition to this, we carry out fire insulation to marine vessels to the A60 standard to comply with the Certificate of Inspection and Tests carried out by the Marine Surveyors of the Department of Trade. This type of work has taken us to Gatwick and Heathrow airports and Vosper Thornycroft Ltd.

SOUND INSULATION AND ATTENUATION

We are all aware of the increasing legislation being put in place to tackle the nuisance of noise. The insulation and attenuation of sound sources is therefore becoming more important. We provide sound insulation to building surfaces, containers and partitions to reduce this. We are also able to carry out attenuation and sonic lining to ductwork to prevent sound breakout. We have provided sound insulation for such companies as Vosper Thornycroft Ltd.

MARINE INSULATION

Being on the south coast, we are employed by a large number of boat builders. The service that we provide includes comfort insulation to ships hulls, A60 fire insulation as detailed above and insulation to high temperature exhaust systems. We are at present employed by Vosper Thornycroft Ltd to insulate the ventilation  ductwork for the new Royal Naval Experimental Trimaran. This work is being carried out in fire resistant cork, which is quite an unusual material. A great deal of our work is carried out for P.&.O Ferries, a lot of which is carried out whilst the ferries are actually in service.

ASBESTOS REMOVAL SERVICES

Asbestos is everywhere! Many of the everyday building materials in older buildings contain it. Also, areas that have had asbestos removed and have been declared safe, are now deemed to be contaminated due to the continual upgrading of legislation. We are able to provide a comprehensive asbestos removal service for materials that are deemed to be unsafe. We provide all screening and forced ventilation equipment to ensure that asbestos dust does not spread during removal operations. All of our operatives are specially trained in the operation of the required breathing equipment and decontamination drills. On completion of the removal we provide air tests by an independent analyst to ensure that the area is cleaned in accordance with the required regulations and is safe to re-enter. In the event of it being a low-level hazard, then we are able to encapsulate and remove or leave in location as required.

ASBESTOS WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICES

In the case of asbestos, it not only has to be removed safely; it also has to be disposed of in an approved manner in accordance with the Environment Agency regulations. We are licensed asbestos disposal contractors and are not only able to dispose of our own asbestos waste, but we are also able to take waste from other contractors and dispose of correctly.
