Asbestos Removal in Cheshire

Widely used across the construction industry throughout the 1900s, asbestos was popularised due to its useful features, such as fire-resistance, heat-resistance, insulation, and durability. Suitable for various applications, asbestos was not only used in construction projects, but it was also used in textiles/clothing, cigarette tips and brake pads, to name a few. However, the popularity soon began to wane, as awareness of the health and safety risks associated with asbestos grew.

Multiple bans on asbestos use continued for decades, until the final ban on the buying, selling, importing and exporting of all types of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) came into force in the UK during November of 1999. Although properties built after this period are less likely to contain asbestos, the threat of its presence can never be 100% ruled out.

If one of our asbestos surveys has identified ACMs within your Cheshire-based property, our asbestos removal experts will likely recommend removal or remediation as a solution. Which service you need will depend on cost implications, the scale of the project and the condition of the confirmed ACMs. 

The process of asbestos removal involves implementing control measures, such as seals and enclosures, where removal is due to take place. These control measures will ensure asbestos fibres do not contaminate surrounding areas. The required level of security for these measures depends on the type of asbestos material or product that has been found and the condition it is in. 

Once all ACMs have been removed safely and compliantly, our asbestos removal contractors will seal the ACMs securely and send them to a specialist asbestos waste disposal site. The removal site will then undergo a thorough fine clean to remove debris from your property, including vacuuming, surface cleaning, visual inspections and air monitoring.

A ceremonial county located in the North West of England, Cheshire is best known for the production of Cheshire cheese, salt and silk. Mainly a rural county, Cheshire is filled with villages, where agriculture is generally based on the dairy trade and cattle are the predominant livestock.

One of Cheshire’s best-known industrial exports, the county’s production of salt dates as far back as the Roman occupation of England. It was so popular in fact, that the Sale Museum was built to commemorate this industrial heritage, and has since become a popular school trip location for the local children!

Unfortunately, with the mass production of salt came the establishment of several factories along the course of the River Weaver in Winsford during the 1800s. At the time, asbestos was widely used in the construction industry due to its durable and insulating properties. That’s why it was used as boiler and pipe lagging for many factories, in order to insulate the buildings.
