Significant maintenance, repair, refurbishment or demolition works could put you at risk of asbestos exposure. This means you may require professional asbestos removal services prior to these works.
About Asbestos
For decades, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were used widely within the construction industry, famed for their thermal properties. After a series of bans set by the government over many years, the final ban on asbestos was introduced in 1999. This put a stop to the import, supply and use of all types of asbestosin the UK. Any properties built before the year 2000 may still contain ACMs. Disturbance of asbestos fibres could put people at risk of exposure, leading to serious health risks. If this is the case, asbestos removal may be required in order to keep your premises safe and compliant.
Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos exposure can lead to many different health issues, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis and pleural thickening, etc. Therefore, there are strict regulations surrounding building repairs or maintenance to reduce the risk of a workforce being exposed to asbestos fibres. If the site staff do become exposed, not only will this impact their health, but it could also lead to serious financial penalties for the employer. Asbestos removal is one of the most tightly controlled areas of construction and for this reason, it is essential any asbestos removal works are carried out by licenced, trained professionals.
What Is Asbestos Removal?
Once asbestos removal has been identified as the solution for managing the risk of asbestos exposure within your premises, the first step involves implementing control measures (such as seals, enclosures, etc.) to ensure asbestos fibres do not contaminate the surrounding areas where asbestos removal is due to take place. The level of security during the process will depend on the type and condition of asbestos that has been identified.
Once our dedicated team of asbestos removal specialists has safely and compliantly removed all ACMs from your property, these materials will then be sent to a professional asbestos waste disposal site. Our licensed asbestos contractors will then undergo a thorough fine cleaning in order to remove any excess debris – this process can include vacuuming, surface cleaning, visual inspections and air monitoring.
What's The Difference Between Asbestos Removal & Remediation?
If you have had an asbestos survey undertaken at your premises, asbestos removal or remediation may have been recommended as a solution to manage the risk of asbestos exposure in your property.
Asbestos remediation can include a range of activities to provide a remedy for the risk of asbestos within your premises. This can involve, but is not limited to, the removal of small areas of ACMs, boarding or pipe insulation, or the encapsulation of boards or walls.
Whereas, asbestos removal is the full removal of all ACMs within the fabric of a building.
