If you're dealing with a potential asbestos emergency, here’s how we make the work safe and simple for you:
- First Contact & Assessment: Call us, and we'll discuss your situation. If needed, we can arrange for a swift, safe visit to assess the material and determine if it requires urgent removal. We can also take a sample for laboratory testing to confirm asbestos presence.
- Containment & Preparation: Once confirmed, our team establishes a controlled work area, using industry-standard techniques to prevent the spread of any hazardous fibres. This includes sealing off the area and setting up necessary ventilation.
- Safe Removal: Our trained experts then carefully remove the asbestos materials using specialised tools and personal protective equipment (PPE). We handle all non-licensed asbestos, which includes common items like cement roofs, panels, floor tiles, and textured coatings (Artex).
- Thorough Clean-up: After removal, we meticulously clean the area using HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners, making sure no fibres are left behind.
- Legal Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, sealed, and transported under a valid Waste Carriers Licence to a licensed hazardous waste facility. You'll receive all the required legal paperwork for your records.
When You Need Urgent Asbestos Action: Common Scenarios
Asbestos might not always present an emergency, but certain situations call for quick professional intervention to protect health and maintain safety:
- Damaged Garage or Shed Roofs: Corrugated cement roofs that crack, break, or are otherwise disturbed can release fibres.
- Unexpected Discovery During Renovation: If you hit or uncover suspicious material during DIY or professional building work, stop immediately and call us. Don't touch it.
- Water-Damaged Materials: Asbestos-containing materials, particularly those in ceilings or walls, can become friable (crumbly) if exposed to water damage, increasing fibre release risk.
- Accidental Disturbance: Any activity that causes asbestos to break, crumble, or release dust, like drilling into an Artex ceiling or breaking a floor tile, requires immediate attention.
