Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex: Professional Asbestos Removal Company in Sussex

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was widely used in building materials from the 1920s until the 1980s. Due to its resistance to heat, fire, and chemicals, asbestos was a popular material for insulation, flooring, roofing, and other products. However, research has shown that asbestos fibers can be very harmful to human health, especially when they are breathed into the lungs. As a result, asbestos has been banned or limited in many countries, including the UK.

If you own a property in Sussex and suspect that it may contain asbestos, you should contact a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex. In this landing page, we will explain how we remove asbestos from houses in Sussex, the risks of asbestos exposure, and why you should trust us with your asbestos removal needs.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring silicate minerals that have unique physical and chemical properties, such as high tensile strength, flexibility, and heat resistance. The six types of asbestos minerals are chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite.

Asbestos fibers are very fine and can easily become airborne when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, such as during renovation or demolition work. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they can cause serious health problems over time, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos-Containing Products

Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials and products in the past, including:

• Insulation materials (such as pipe lagging, sprayed asbestos, loose-fill asbestos)
• Floor tiles and adhesives
• Roofing materials (such as corrugated asbestos cement sheets)
• Cement products (such as asbestos cement pipes, gutters, and downpipes)
• Textured coatings (such as Artex)
• Boiler and duct insulation
• Electrical switch and fuse boxes

If your property was built before the 1990s, there is a chance that it may contain asbestos in some form. Therefore, it is important to have a professional asbestos survey done to identify any potential risks.

How We Remove Asbestos from a House in Sussex

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we specialize in removing asbestos from houses and commercial properties throughout Sussex and the South East of England. Our trained and experienced technicians use the latest methods and equipment to safely and efficiently remove asbestos-containing materials from your property.

Here are the steps we take to remove asbestos from a house in Sussex:

1. Initial Survey: We will conduct an initial survey of your property to determine the extent of the asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and the potential risks. Our surveyors will take samples of suspected ACMs and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.

2. Plan of Action: Based on the results of the survey, we will create a detailed plan of action for the safe removal of the ACMs. This will include a risk assessment, a method statement, and a site-specific plan.

3. Preparation: Before any work is carried out, we will prepare the work area by erecting a sealed enclosure to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading to other parts of the property. We will also set up negative pressure units and use special asbestos vacuum cleaners to ensure that any airborne fibers are captured.

4. Removal: Our trained and equipped technicians will then remove the ACMs using safe and efficient methods. We will use personal protective equipment, such as respirators and disposable coveralls, to protect our workers and the occupants of the property from asbestos exposure.

5. Disposal: After the ACMs have been removed, we will dispose of them safely and legally at a licensed hazardous waste facility. We will provide you with all the necessary paperwork, including a consignment note and a hazardous waste transfer note, to ensure that the waste is tracked and accounted for.

6. Final Inspection: Once the removal work is complete, we will conduct a final inspection to ensure that all the ACMs have been removed and the area is clean and safe for reoccupation. We will also provide you with a Certificate of Reoccupation to confirm that your property is asbestos-free.
