Most commonly used for roofing and siding, asbestos in cement sheets were popular in older buildings
About Asbestos Cement Sheets
Widely used across the construction sector, as well as residential corrugated garage roofs, asbestos in cement sheets was a very popular asbestos-containing material (ACM) in the 20th century. Strong, highly heat-resistant and moldable to a degree, asbestos cement sheets were used for a number of applications and are still present within our buildings to this day.
Though the several useful properties of asbestos cement sheets made them an attractive building material, their asbestos content can pose a significant threat to health if not dealt with safely. As the cement sheets deteriorate in condition over time, they may release asbestos fibres into the atmosphere, which when inhaled can cause pulmonary health conditions such as Mesothelioma and Asbestosis.
How Dangerous Are Asbestos Cement Sheets?
Like other ACMs, such as AIB, asbestos floor tiles, asbestos ceiling tiles or asbestos pipe lagging and more, asbestos in cement sheets should be handled by a trained and competent individual. Should there be refurbishment or demolition works due to take place within your commercial or residential building, it is key that the dutyholder has the appropriate asbestos survey undertaken before any asbestos cement sheets are broken or removed. If the dutyholder does not uphold their legal obligations, and the asbestos cement sheets are disturbed, there is a real risk of asbestos fibres being exposed and threatening the health of those in the vicinity.
The age, condition and location of your cement sheets will contribute to their risk significance, and this is why it’s essential to have licensed asbestos contractors brought to your property to inspect, remediate or remove any ACMs safely to mitigate your risk of exposure.
Asbestos Cement Sheet Removal
When working with asbestos in cement sheets, possibly in conjunction with other ACMs also, the threat of their presence must be fully considered before any refurbishment or removal works are carried out on your premises. You should not attempt to remove asbestos if you are not a licensed asbestos removal contractor. If you’re in need of trained and competent asbestos professionals, this is where the team at Reddish Vale can help. We can help you safely and compliantly deal with your asbestos cement sheets, no matter whether you’re a commercial or residential client across England.
