At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we offer a comprehensive range of asbestos removal and abatement services in Old Shoreham, West Sussex, and the surrounding areas. Our services include:

1. Asbestos Survey: Our qualified surveyors can conduct a thorough asbestos survey in your property to identify, assess and record all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may be present. We use state-of-the-art equipment, tools and techniques to collect samples from suspected ACMs, and we send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Based on the findings, we provide you with a detailed survey report that outlines the location, type, condition and risk of the ACMs, as well as our recommendations for their management or removal.

2. Asbestos Removal: Once we have identified the ACMs in your property that pose a risk to human health, we can safely and legally remove them using approved methods and practices. Our licensed and qualified asbestos removal technicians are trained to follow strict procedures to minimize the release of fibers, such as wetting, sealing and double bagging the materials. We also use negative air pressure units and specialized respirators to protect our workers and the environment. We ensure that the waste is properly packaged, labeled, transported and disposed of at a licensed asbestos waste facility.

3. Asbestos Encapsulation or Repair: In some cases, it may be possible and cost-effective to encapsulate or repair the ACMs instead of removing them. We can apply a specialized sealant or coating to the ACMs to prevent the fibers from escaping, or we can wrap them with a reinforced fabric that enhances their strength and insulating properties. These methods can be useful if the ACMs are in good condition and not likely to be disturbed in the future. However, they may not be suitable for all types of ACMs or situations, and we advise you to consult our experts before making a decision.

4. Asbestos Testing and Monitoring: After we have removed or encapsulated the ACMs, we can carry out a clearance or reoccupation test to verify that the air quality in your property is safe and asbestos-free. We take air samples from the affected area and analyze them for the presence of asbestos fibers. If the results are negative, we issue a certificate of reoccupation or clearance that you can use to reassure yourself, your family or your clients that the property is safe. We can also offer long-term monitoring services to ensure that any residual asbestos is properly managed and maintained.
