FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is asbestos and why is it hazardous?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once used in construction for fire resistance. Its fibres can become airborne and, if inhaled, may cause serious health issues such as lung cancer and asbestosis. Always contact a licensed professional if asbestos is suspected.

Is asbestos removal safe?

Yes, when handled by licensed and trained professionals. Strict safety protocols, protective equipment, and modern techniques ensure fibres are contained and removed safely. DIY removal is extremely dangerous and not recommended.

How is asbestos disposed of after removal?

All asbestos waste is securely packaged, labelled, and transported to approved hazardous waste facilities. Improper disposal is illegal and unsafe — only professionals should handle asbestos disposal.

How long does asbestos removal take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the project. Small residential jobs may take a day, while larger commercial or industrial sites can take several days. Each project is carefully planned to maximize safety and efficiency.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Asbestos was commonly used in properties built before 2000. Only a professional inspection or testing can confirm its presence. Our certified inspectors provide thorough testing and detailed reports.

What regulations apply to asbestos removal?

UK law mandates that most asbestos removal must be performed by licensed contractors. Compliance with health and safety regulations is essential to protect everyone on-site. Our team is fully licensed and certified.

Can asbestos be removed from my property without risk?

Yes, with a licensed contractor, removal can be carried out safely with minimal disruption. Professional teams follow strict procedures to prevent exposure and ensure compliance.

Do I need to vacate my home during asbestos removal?

In most cases, yes. Licensed removal involves containment of asbestos fibres, and your safety is paramount. Temporary relocation ensures no exposure occurs during the abatement process.
