How To Safely Remove High Wycombe Asbestos Board In Sussex

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and other industries for its heat and fire-resistant properties. However, we now know that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health implications, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. If you suspect the presence of asbestos in your house, it's essential to take immediate action to avoid the risk of inhaling asbestos fibers.

Our team of highly trained professionals has the expertise and equipment necessary to remove asbestos-containing materials from your property safely. In this guide, we'll discuss the most critical aspects of asbestos removal and how we can help you ensure your property is safe from asbestos.

The Risk Of Inhaling Asbestos

Asbestos fibers can be present in any building constructed before the 1980s, including residential and commercial buildings. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, the fibers can become airborne, and inhaling them can cause serious health implications over time. The risk of developing asbestos-related diseases increases with the frequency and duration of exposure, as well as other factors such as smoking.

Symptoms of asbestos exposure can take years, even decades, to appear, making it challenging to diagnose and treat effectively. It's essential, therefore, to take a proactive approach to prevent exposure whenever possible.

Health Implications Of Asbestos

Asbestos is a dangerous substance that can cause severe and often fatal diseases. The most common asbestos-related diseases include lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases can take years to develop, with symptoms often not appearing until decades after exposure.

Lung cancer is the most common form of asbestos-related cancer and can develop even after brief exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen or heart, and is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure. Asbestosis is a chronic lung condition that develops after prolonged exposure to asbestos, causing progressive scarring of lung tissue.

The Use Of Asbestos In Construction

Asbestos was widely used in construction as a strengthening and insulation material in the UK until 1999. Although the use of asbestos in the UK was banned in the 1980s, many buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials. The presence of asbestos in buildings and other structures is still a significant risk for people who work or live in these buildings.

Asbestos-containing materials may be present in a range of building materials, including:

• Pipe insulation
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles
• Insulation board
• Roofing materials
• Cement products

It's important to note that asbestos-containing materials are not necessarily dangerous if they are undisturbed and in good condition. For this reason, it's important to have an asbestos survey carried out by a qualified professional to identify and assess the risks of asbestos in your property.
