    About Asbestos in Caulking

    About Asbestos in Caulking

    Asbestos in caulking was frequently used as a sealant to fix cracks, fill joint gaps and seal windows to protect against drafts, before asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999.

    Asbestos was added to caulking products to reinforce the formula, due to its fire, heat and water-resistance, as well as its considerable durability. These strong properties made the substance ideal for sealing around ovens, fireplaces, boilers, pipe joints, ducts, brickwork and exteriors. 

    While the asbestos fibres found in caulking sealants are not as readily released as other common ACMs, if asbestos in caulking is still present in a property that is due to undergo refurbishment or demolition works – the risk of exposure becomes much higher, posing very serious health risks for those involved.

    If you suspect that there is asbestos in caulking present within your premises, it is crucial that you enlist the help of trained asbestos professionals to inspect, remediate or remove any ACMs detected in your property. 

    Dangers of Asbestos in Caulking

    How Dangerous is Asbestos in Caulking?

    If asbestos in caulking has aged considerably, the dangers of its asbestos fibres being released are much higher. The same can be said for asbestos in caulking that has undertaken damage, either due to water or force. Asbestos is a carcinogenic material, meaning it can cause a variety of very serious illnesses.

    This is why those without the proper training should never attempt to inspect or remove suspected asbestos within their property. Instead, you should appoint the assistance of our highly experienced licensed asbestos consultants who can safely and efficiently survey, remediate and remove any detected ACMs in accordance with the latest ARCA, ACAD and HSE regulations before any harm is caused.
