Sergei Skripal’s House To Be Dismantled As Part of ‘Deep Clean’ Operation

Dated January 4 and signed by the council’s director of public of health, Tracy Daszkiewicz, it told residents that contractors would spend the first month erecting scaffolding to cover the house and garage with a “sealed frame”.

A military team will then dismantle and remove the roofs on the two buildings over two weeks.

Everything will be wrapped and sealed before being removed from the site, and then the roofs will be replaced, Daszkiewicz said.

The letter said: “This phase includes the removal of the house roof and garage roof at No 47 (Christie Miller Road).

“All materials will be wrapped and sealed on site before being removed safely from the premises.

“Once the covered frame is in place, the deconstruction work is expected to take around two weeks.

“This specialist work will be carried out by the military team.

“When that work is completed, contractors will move on site to build a replacement roof for the house and adjoining garage.”

She said the risk to public health remains “low”, adding: “The priority is to make sure that the two remaining sites affected by the 2018 incidents are thoroughly cleaned and returned to normal use as soon as possible.”
