Residential asbestos removal services in London are a necessity. Asbestos was used in many buildings as an insulator but it has been found to cause Mesothelioma, a serious and deadly lung cancer. The process to ensure that your property is free of this disease causing mineral begins by finding a company that specializes in asbestos detection and removal. Unfortunately not every contractor has the capabilities to do the testing and removal. There are specialty skills that are required.
How It Works
Once you have found a company that specialises in asbestos removal and surveying you can make arrangements for the team to come out and do the survey to let you know if your property has asbestos issues or not. Asbestos is relatively harmless until it is disturbed but it has to be dealt with because you do not want to chance that it will be disturbed and get into the air.
The Specialist
You want to use a contractor that follows the strict HSE rules for removal of asbestos. You also want to look for a company that specialises in:
- Demolition ( if you are so inclined)
- AIB (Asbestos Insulation Board)
- Lagging for pipes
- Textured coatings containing asbestos
- Bitumen products
The right company will have experience in surveying and testing as well demolition. Depending on whether you are planning on some demolition work or you are looking toward some refurbishing the right team will know what survey to do and will be able to get rid of the asbestos before you begin your project. Having the right professional support will give you peace of mind knowing that you and your family are not at risk. Asbestos is a very dangerous material so if you suspect that your property has some asbestos materials you absolutely need to call in a professional to help with the removal.
