How Is Asbestos Removed Safely From A House In Sussex?

If you live in Sussex, and your home was built before 2000, then it is likely to contain asbestos. Asbestos was used in the construction industry because of its durability, flexibility, and resistance to heat and fire. Since it is known to cause serious health problems like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, it was banned in 1999 in the UK. Therefore, if you have any doubts that your home may contain asbestos, it is important to contact a professional asbestos removal company in Sussex. In this landing page, we will guide you through Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex's asbestos removal process, and how we ensure the safety of everyone involved.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials from the 1950s until the late 1990s. Asbestos is made up of tiny fibers that, when released into the air and inhaled, can cause serious health risks. Asbestos can affect anyone who comes in contact with it, but those who have worked with asbestos products or materials are at the greatest risk.

The Risks Associated With Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious lung diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. These diseases can take years to develop and can be fatal. Mesothelioma, in particular, is an aggressive form of lung cancer typically caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. It is estimated that mesothelioma in the UK kills around 5,000 people per year, and this number is expected to rise over the next decade.

Asbestos Containing Materials in Buildings

Asbestos-containing materials can be found in many different parts of a building including walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, pipes, and insulation. It is important to remember that the presence of asbestos does not necessarily mean that it is dangerous. Asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and are not likely to be disturbed are generally safe. However, if the asbestos-containing material is damaged or disturbed, it can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be harmful to your health.

Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos abatement is the process of removing or containing the asbestos-containing material in a way that minimizes the risk of releasing asbestos fibers into the air. Asbestos abatement must be carried out by trained and experienced professionals using the correct equipment and procedures.
