Did you Know...

There are three primary types of asbestos: chrysotile (white), amosite (brown), and crocidolite (blue). Chrysotile is the most common, used in buildings and roofs. Amosite and crocidolite are rarer but more dangerous, especially crocidolite, which is highly fibrous and linked to severe respiratory risks.

Asbestos in Roofing Materials Asbestos cement was widely used in roofing materials in the 20th century. Corrugated asbestos roofing is common in garages, sheds, and industrial buildings. Over time, the cement can deteriorate, releasing dangerous fibers into the air, posing serious health risks when inhaled.

Hidden Asbestos in Artex Ceilings Artex textured ceilings, popular from the 1950s to 1980s, often contain asbestos. If disturbed during renovations, the dangerous fibers can be released. It’s critical to test and remove Artex safely before undertaking any building work.

Asbestos Pipe Insulation Asbestos was once commonly used to insulate heating pipes and boilers, especially in older homes. The fibrous material resists heat but becomes dangerous when damaged or deteriorating, releasing toxic fibers that can cause lung diseases if inhaled.

Health Risks: Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive cancer linked to asbestos exposure. It affects the lining of the lungs or abdomen and has no cure. Even short-term exposure to asbestos can lead to this devastating disease, often taking decades to develop.

Asbestos Surveys

Before removal, it’s crucial to know where asbestos lurks. Our comprehensive surveys identify all asbestos-containing materials, ensuring nothing is left to chance. We provide clear reports and expert advice on the best course of action.

Licensed Asbestos Removal

We handle the most dangerous asbestos materials with precision and care. From pipe lagging to sprayed coatings, we ensure safe removal in compliance with all health and safety regulations. Protecting your health is our top priority.

Asbestos Encapsulation

When removal isn’t an option, we seal asbestos materials to prevent harmful fibers from becoming airborne. This is a cost-effective and safe alternative to removal when materials are in good condition but need containment.

Air Monitoring and Reassurance Testing

After the job’s done, we make sure the air is safe to breathe. Our air monitoring services ensure that no harmful fibers remain, giving you complete peace of mind before re-entering the space.

We can provide you with assessments and remediations.

Did you Know...

Asbestos in Floor Tiles Vinyl floor tiles manufactured before the 1980s often contain asbestos. Over time, the tiles can become brittle and release fibers. Sanding, grinding, or breaking these tiles during renovations can cause airborne contamination, creating a significant health hazard.

Asbestos-Containing Soffits The soffits under the eaves of many houses built before the 1990s may contain asbestos. These materials become hazardous when exposed to weathering or damage, potentially releasing fibers that linger in the environment for decades.

Risks to Tradespeople Plumbers, electricians, and builders face a higher risk of asbestos exposure because it’s often hidden in walls, floors, and ceilings. Without proper protection, disturbing these materials can release fibers, making these professionals particularly vulnerable to asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer Asbestos exposure is linked to lung cancer, especially in smokers. Inhaled fibers lodge in lung tissue, causing inflammation and cell damage that can lead to cancer. Like mesothelioma, it can take years or decades for symptoms to emerge.

Asbestos in Industrial Buildings Factories, warehouses, and old office blocks built before the 1980s often contain asbestos in insulation, roofing, and fireproofing materials. These buildings pose serious risks to anyone who works in or renovates them, especially if the asbestos is damaged or disturbed.

Did you Know...

Friable vs. Non-Friable Asbestos Asbestos comes in two forms: friable and non-friable. Friable asbestos, which crumbles easily, is more dangerous because it can release fibers into the air. Non-friable asbestos is safer but can still become hazardous if damaged during renovation work.

Asbestos in Brake Pads and Clutches Before the 1980s, asbestos was used in vehicle brake pads and clutches due to its heat resistance. Mechanics working on older cars could unknowingly expose themselves to asbestos dust while replacing or repairing these parts, posing a serious occupational hazard.

isk of Asbestosis Prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause asbestosis, a chronic lung condition. It leads to scarring of the lung tissue, which causes shortness of breath, coughing, and eventually respiratory failure. While it’s not cancerous, it is irreversible and debilitating.

Asbestos in Schools Many older school buildings still contain asbestos, often in ceiling tiles, insulation, and wallboards. While generally safe if undisturbed, accidental damage during maintenance or renovations can release fibers, potentially putting students and staff at risk.

Asbestos in Textiles Asbestos was once woven into textiles like fireproof gloves, blankets, and clothing used in industrial environments. Workers in these industries, especially those handling old protective gear, may unknowingly be exposed to asbestos fibers embedded in the fabric.
