Negative Pressure Enclosures

We use negative pressure enclosures to minimize the spread of asbestos particles during the removal process. Negative pressure ensures that any asbestos fibers are contained within the area where removal is taking place, reducing the risk of contamination.

Asbestos Materials

Asbestos was commonly used in the construction industry as it's durable, fire-resistant, and has excellent heat insulation properties. It was widely used in the following types of building materials:

Ceiling tiles

Asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in ceiling tiles as they're lightweight, fire-resistant, and perfect for acoustics.

Roofing materials

Asbestos was frequently used in roofing materials, particularly shingles and tiles. Asbestos is ideal for roofing applications as it's waterproof, fire-resistant, and can withstand extreme temperatures.

Flooring materials

Asbestos was commonly used in the production of flooring materials, including vinyl and linoleum tiles. Asbestos adds durability and insulation to flooring materials, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

The May 2021 UK Asbestos Removal law

In May 2021, the UK government passed a new law requiring all buildings built before 2000 to have an asbestos survey conducted. This new law is part of an ongoing effort to reduce public exposure to asbestos and ensure that all buildings are safe for occupancy.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we provide affordable asbestos surveys to help you comply with the new law. Our team of experts uses the latest technology to identify asbestos-containing materials in your building and advise you on the best course of action.
