Asbestos - The Hazardous Substance

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in construction and insulation materials because of their high heat resistance and durability. However, when the materials containing asbestos are disturbed or damaged, such as through renovation or demolition work, they release fibers that can cause serious illness or death.

Asbestos was widely used in the UK until the 1980s. Therefore, if you have an older property, there's a high probability that it contains asbestos. The most common asbestos-containing materials include:

• Insulation materials (such as pipe lagging and ceiling tiles)
• Roofing materials (such as corrugated iron and pitched roofing)
• Floor tiles and adhesives
• Textured coatings (such as Artex)
• Asbestos cement products (such as flues, gutters, and downpipes)

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it's essential to have it inspected by a certified asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire.

Asbestos Hazardous Waste Must be Disposed

Asbestos-containing materials are classified as hazardous waste and must be disposed of in a safe and responsible manner. It is illegal to dispose of asbestos waste in general waste bins or at a standard landfill site.

Asbestos waste must be transported by a licensed and certified asbestos removal and disposal company to a licensed hazardous waste disposal site. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we have all the necessary permits and licenses to carry out asbestos disposal work.

Never Disposed Asbestos-Containing Waste in General Waste Bin

It's essential not to dispose of asbestos-containing waste in general waste bins. Doing so is illegal and can have serious consequences.

As a responsible homeowner or business owner, you have a duty to ensure that any asbestos-containing materials on your property are dealt with safely and appropriately.
