Asbestos Abatement

Our team can also provide asbestos abatement services, which involve encapsulating or sealing ACMs to prevent the release of asbestos fibers. This is a cost-effective alternative to removal and can be used in situations where ACMs are in good condition and not at risk of damage or disturbance.

Asbestos Waste Disposal

We are also licensed to transport and dispose of all types of asbestos waste. Our team will safely pack and label all waste in accordance with UK laws and regulations, and ensure that it is disposed of at a licensed facility.

The Risks of Asbestos

It is important to understand the risks associated with asbestos exposure. Asbestos fibers are incredibly small and can easily become airborne when disturbed. Once inhaled, they can cause severe health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Exposure to asbestos fibers is also cumulative, meaning that the more a person is exposed, the greater their risk of health problems.

What Materials Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in construction materials prior to the 1980s, and it can still be found in many buildings today. Some common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Insulation
• Roofing materials
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles
• Textured coatings (e.g. Artex)
• Pipe insulation
• Adhesives and sealants
• Brake linings

If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it is important to contact a licensed asbestos removal company as soon as possible.
