Asbestos has been known as a dangerous material for many years – it has even been banned in the UK since 1999. For any homes that were built before the year 2000, a lot of the materials that were used to build properties during that time used asbestos as it provided a flexible and soft addition to a lot of tougher building materials, such as cement.
The dangers of asbestos only become a danger if the asbestos fibres are released into the air and inhaled by another person. Asbestos has been proven to have caused several different illnesses in humans, some of them being fatal.
The most common diseases that asbestos is linked to include mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer. It is specifically common in workers that have worked in industrial areas, shipyard workers, builders, plumbers and other similar industries. It can also be found in houses and domestic buildings. In domestic housing, asbestos was used within piping, ceilings, cement and much more, therefore it could pose a risk within a domestic setting.
Asbestos can be put into 2 main categories, friable and non-friable.
Friable asbestos can usually be identified when the asbestos appears crumbled and not solid. Asbestos can sometimes become friable if it has been damaged through demolition or construction, therefore it’s extremely important to be aware of your surroundings when you are dealing with asbestos. Crumbled asbestos can easily be inhaled so be sure to stay away from the affected area until a professional has looked into it.
Non-friable asbestos is more solid and is not easily disturbed. You won’t always need to remove non-friable asbestos due to the potential dangers. An asbestos expert will be able to advise on whether the asbestos needs to be removed. At All About Asbestos, we have dealt with all different types of asbestos and therefore know exactly how to identify and remove dangerous asbestos-containing materials.
If you are unsure as to whether the asbestos is friable or non-friable then we would highly recommend that you contact us. We will be able to come out to your building and provide you with a full survey for the asbestos which will determine whether we need to remove it.
Before you decide to book any kind of asbestos removal in Bromley, ensure the asbestos has been properly identified and analysed. This comes in the form of an asbestos survey where we will use our tools to pick out the asbestos and the areas of the building that have been affected. This is extremely important as it will allow us to section off dangerous areas of the building and also accurately identify the asbestos. Many asbestos samples get sent off to a laboratory in order to confirm the asbestos-containing materials.
Once asbestos has been confirmed, the team will then consider the options you have. Depending on the condition of the asbestos, it might not have to be removed. This will depend on several different factors such as friability, age and the place in which it was found. If the asbestos is deemed to be removed, you’ll just need to book in a removal date with the team. We aim to get this booked in as soon as possible for customers due to the health concerns that come along with asbestos. We always provide our customers with the correct advice and never charge you for work that doesn’t need to be done – your safety is our top priority.
Our team will be in touch to discuss results once the asbestos has been analysed and will take you through the next steps. You will receive a report with all of the details so you know exactly what asbestos is within your building and where it is located.
It is particularly important to consider an asbestos survey when you are doing any refurbishment on your house such as demolition. Asbestos is well hidden and needs to be looked at and tested by professionals to correctly established whether it is actually asbestos or not. If the fibres were to be disturbed by demolition works then this could cause many problems, particularly for your health. Fibres can cause issues with your airways and seep into your lungs, which can then develop into a nasty disease or illness. Therefore, we would highly recommend that you get in contact with one of our team before starting any work – we will be able to conduct a comprehensive survey and advise you on the best solution. Asbestos does not always need to be removed, it will depend on the condition and particular circumstances, however, you should always double-check first.
