In this landing page, we will discuss the necessary steps in asbestos abatement- the process of removing or reducing the hazards associated with exposure to asbestos fibers. We will thereby give you an insight as to how quickly a site can be safe after asbestos disposal in Sussex.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral which was widely used in building construction for its fireproofing and durability properties until it was banned in the UK in 1999 due to health risks associated with inhaling asbestos fibers. Asbestos can be found in many products and materials, including insulation, roofing shingles, flooring, coatings, and cement pipes.

Asbestos Exposure

Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to Mesothelioma, a deadly cancer that attacks the lining of the lungs, abdomen or heart; asbestosis, a chronic and progressive lung disease; and lung cancer.

The symptoms of asbestos exposure may not manifest themselves until 10-50 years after the exposure happened, which can make a diagnosis more difficult. Therefore, it's important to be aware of the proper handling techniques and trust a licensed asbestos removal company if you suspect asbestos is present in your home or property.

Never Dispose of Asbestos with General Waste
