Why is asbestos removal needed?
Before the hazards of asbestos were fully recognised, many property developers and building companies used fire-retardant asbestos within domestic and commercial properties. Asbestos is often found in cladding, boiler rooms, pipe insulation and textured coatings for walls and ceilings and there is sometime the need for asbestos removal services to remove potentially harmful asbestos fibres.
Although asbestos may have been present in your premises for decades, as long as it is undisturbed and kept in a good condition it poses very little threat. However, there is always the risk that anyone doing work on the building could damage the asbestos and release the dangerous asbestos fibres.
These asbestos fibres can lead to asbestosis, mesothelioma or even lung cancer. It can take between 15- 60 years after initial exposure before these serious asbestos related diseases become apparent.
With asbestos related diseases causing up to 3000 deaths a year in the UK alone, it is vitally important that asbestos removal is carried out by qualified asbestos removal companies.

Asbestos removal is the only permanent asbestos abatement solution. Although, asbestos removal will initially be the most expensive method of asbestos abatement but depending on the circumstances, asbestos removal can be the economically preferred option in the long run.
In most cases of asbestos removal, where Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) are removed, an appropriate substitute material will need to be installed. Commonly, fibreglass pipe covering is used asbestos removal and the cost associated with supplying and installing this new material is relatively low.
