Asbestos Removal in Residential Properties

If you are a homeowner who has found traces of asbestos within your residential property, we can help find the best solution for removal and making you and your home safe. Many homes built pre 1999 still contain large amounts of asbestos.

Many homes have asbestos present, and this can be found within a huge variety of forms and locations. Many of these are unexpected and may go unnoticed for many years. For a full list of potential asbestos locations please see the blog post here. Before the Asbestos Prohibitions Amendment act was signed in 1999, it was used for many things due to the strong, highly heat-resistant properties. To find out more about asbestos please click here.

If you come across asbestos within your home, we are able to provide removal and encapsulation services to manage the risk of asbestos and ensure the safety of the occupying residents. There are many cases where asbestos will be safe if undisturbed and in good condition, therefore if this is relevant to your case we will be honest in telling you so. Before works can commence we usually require a survey to prove the material contains asbestos fibres & which type it contains.

Our removal works will cause as little disruption as physically possible and we always aim to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as we can.

Q: Why do some works have to be notified to the HSE?

In order to protect all members of the public from any unnecessary asbestos fibre exposure, the HSE requires certain types of works to be notified to them at least 14 days in advance in order to regulate and control the removal procedures. These types of works include certain fibres and ACM’s, and these works may only be done by licensed contractors. For more about the HSE process, head to their website.

Q: How many types of asbestos are there?

Asbestos has two sub-categories; Serpentine and Amphibole, defined by their difference in fibre qualities. In the Serpentine category is Chrysotile (also known as White asbestos) with S-shaped fibres. In the Amphibole category is; Crocidolite (Blue asbestos), Amosite (Brown asbestos) and also lesser-known Anthophyllite, Tremolite and Actinolite, all with straight fibres.

Q: Why is asbestos hazardous to my health?

The fibres of the asbestos materials are long, thin strands that are very small. When inhaled, these fibres latch on to your lungs and organs and when built up over time can cause Asbestosis or Mesothelioma, both fatal and incurable diseases.
