Asbestos Survey

Our asbestos survey services can help identify any potential asbestos materials in your home or building before they become a hazard. We use a range of techniques to identify potential asbestos-containing materials, including visual inspections and sample testing.

Asbestos Disposal

Disposing of asbestos materials requires strict adherence to regulations set by the local authority. Our team is fully licensed and trained to dispose of asbestos waste safely and efficiently.

The Risks of Asbestos Exposure

Exposure to asbestos can lead to a range of serious health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and there is no safe level of exposure. The risk of asbestos exposure is highest for those who work in industries where asbestos was frequently used, such as construction, shipbuilding, and mining. However, anyone who comes into contact with asbestos materials is at risk.

Asbestos in Materials

Asbestos was commonly used in a range of building materials, including insulation, roofing materials, flooring, and pipes. It was valued for its heat resistance and durability, but it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can become airborne when disturbed, leading to potential health hazards.
