Asbestos Waste Collection

During the asbestos removal process, we will segregate the asbestos-containing materials and dispose of them separately from other waste. We will also collect and remove all asbestos-containing waste from your property.

Asbestos Encapsulation

In some cases, it may be possible to encapsulate asbestos-containing materials as opposed to removing them. This process involves coating the asbestos with a sealant to prevent the release of harmful fibers. We will advise you on this option if it is relevant to your property.

Asbestos and Its Risks

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in the construction industry until the mid-1980s. It was prized for its excellent insulating properties and was used in a variety of building materials, including insulation, cement, and roofing.

Asbestos fibers are extremely small and lightweight, meaning they can remain airborne for extended periods. When inhaled, these fibers can cause a range of serious health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

It is vital to remember that prolonged exposure to asbestos is associated with an increased risk of developing asbestos-related diseases. Therefore, if you suspect that your property contains asbestos, you should contact us immediately.
