Compliant Asbestos Removal Services Across Huddersfield

About Asbestos
A renowned building material used within various construction projects, asbestos was implemented extensively until the banning of all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in 1999. Its insulating and fire-resistant properties rendered it a popular building material and asbestos was used within the build of various projects at the time. Despite this, before 1999 the UK government introduced several regulations pertaining to the use of asbestos, and voluntary bans were then widespread across the country.
The various bans on asbestos use continued for decades, before the final ban on buying, selling, importing and exporting all types of asbestos-containing materials commenced in November of 1999. The dangers of its presence can never be fully be ruled out, even though properties which were built after this period are less likely to contain asbestos.

Asbestos Exposure
Statistics from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) signify that asbestos exposure contributed to the deaths of approximately 4,500 people every year in the UK. The root cause of asbestos exposure is usually the presence of broken or disturbed ACMs, as the fibres are released into the atmosphere. This can lead to the development of further health issues like mesothelioma and asbestosis for example. Refurbishment and demolition, as well as any significant maintenance works undertaken within a property or parts of a building are the main events in which this asbestos exposure could occur. Due to the severe health risks connected with asbestos exposure, asbestos removal and remediation processes are one of the most strictly regulated areas of the construction industry. Therefore, this is why choosing an accredited and experienced asbestos removal company in Huddersfield is vital to ensure the safe and compliant removal of asbestos.

Asbestos in Huddersfield
A town in the Metropolitan borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire, Huddersfield lies in the foothills of the Pennines and boasts a thriving arts scene, with several galleries, theatres and arts venues, including the Lawrence Batley Theatre. The town is also home to multiple museums and one of the largest indoor markets in the UK.
Known for its industrial heritage, particularly in the fields of textiles and engineering, Huddersfield is famous for its canals, including the Huddersfield Narrow Canal that runs through the town and is a popular attraction for boaters and walkers.
However, with a rich industrial heritage often comes an exposure to asbestos in the past. For instance, chrysotile (white) asbestos was woven into various fabrics and cloths to make asbestos textiles, which factory workers, miners and firefighters would wear to protect themselves from heat and fire.



Demographics Susceptible to Asbestos Exposure in Huddersfield
The use of asbestos textiles as protective workwear, as well as the asbestos pipe/boiler lagging that surrounded many factories at the time, would have led to several demographics being left susceptible to asbestos exposure in Huddersfield during the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840) and beyond. Some of these demographics would’ve included:
- Factory workers
- Textile manufacturers
- Boiler makers
- Pipe fitters
- Engineers
- Miners
- Firefighters
