Asbestos Abatement and Removal

Once we have identified the presence of asbestos in the premises, we will carry out the necessary abatement and removal procedures in accordance with the ARCA guidelines and regulations. Our team will isolate the affected area and use specialist tools and equipment to remove the asbestos-containing materials safely and efficiently. We will then package and transport the waste to a licensed disposal site, ensuring that all the relevant paperwork and documentation is provided.

Asbestos Disposal and Waste Management

As part of our asbestos removal service, we also provide asbestos disposal and waste management solutions. We will arrange for the safe and legal disposal of all asbestos-containing materials in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. We will also provide you with a consignment note and a waste transfer note, as required by law.

The Risks of Asbestos

Asbestos is a highly hazardous material that can cause serious health problems and even death. It was widely used in construction and manufacturing industries until the 1980s, when its dangers became widely known. Today, asbestos is banned in many countries, including the UK, but it still exists in many buildings and products. Asbestos-containing materials can release fibres into the air when they are disturbed or damaged, and these fibres can be inhaled into the lungs, causing a range of diseases, such as:

• Asbestosis: a scarring of the lungs that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue.
• Mesothelioma: a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, stomach, or heart.
• Lung cancer: a type of cancer that starts in the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body.

The risks of asbestos exposure are not limited to workers in the construction and manufacturing industries. Anyone who lives or works in a building that contains asbestos can be at risk, especially if the material is disturbed or damaged. That is why it is essential to identify the presence of asbestos and take appropriate action to remove or manage it.

Common Asbestos-Containing Materials

Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials, products, and equipment, due to its durability, heat resistance, and insulating properties. Here are some of the most common asbestos-containing materials that can be found in buildings:

• Asbestos cement: used for roofing sheets, wall cladding, pipes, and gutters.
• Asbestos insulating board (AIB): used for ceiling tiles, wall linings, and partition walls.
• Asbestos lagging: used for insulation in pipes, boilers, and ducts.
• Asbestos thermal insulation: used for insulation in furnaces, kilns, and ovens.
• Asbestos sprayed coatings: used for fire protection and sound insulation.
