Their primary objective is to safeguard public health by meticulously assessing, containing, and eliminating asbestos hazards in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Before commencing any removal process, these experts conduct thorough inspections and asbestos testing to determine the presence and extent of asbestos contamination.
Â
One of the pivotal aspects of their expertise lies in their ability to develop comprehensive removal plans tailored to each unique situation. They carefully consider factors such as the type of asbestos, its location, condition, and the most suitable removal techniques. Utilising specialised equipment and employing stringent safety measures, they execute the removal process diligently, minimising the risk of asbestos fibre release into the environment.

Moreover, these professionals prioritise the use of advanced containment procedures to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres during removal.

Following removal, these experts conduct meticulous post-removal inspections and air quality testing to ensure that the area is free from asbestos contamination. Their attention to detail and adherence to stringent quality control measures guarantee a thorough and safe asbestos removal process.Â

Local asbestos removal experts not only prioritise safety but also aim to educate property owners and occupants about the risks associated with asbestos exposure. They provide valuable guidance on identifying potential asbestos-containing materials and advocate for regular inspections, especially in older buildings or structures.
Asbestos is most commonly found in Artex ceilings and walls, roof tiles and exterior walls, insulation boards between wall partitions and in PVC flooring tiles. It was used to mix with cement and plaster before the health risks were identified, so any older cement products may potentially contain asbestos.
If you discover asbestos in your property it is important to leave it alone and if you have damaged it, don’t try to clean it up. Contact an expert asbestos removal specialist who will be able to safely remove the asbestos from your property or advise you about another type of action.
You can check what the local council recommends for asbestos removal in your area but you can find a qualified asbestos removal expert in the Top Tradies directory to advise you on what the correct course of action should be.
No, only people who hold a licence from the HSE or are fully trained to remove lower risk asbestos should remove asbestos. Removing asbestos yourself or allowing someone without the correct training to do it could cause a serious health risk.
In a typical asbestos removal job, such as removing a small amount of asbestos from a garage roof, the cost will usually be somewhere between £200 and £400. The cost will be determined by the quantity of asbestos that requires to be removed and how easy it is to access it to remove it.
There are a few different ways to identify whether a material has asbestos in it. Firstly, asbestos was banned in 1999, so properties built prior to this are more likely to have materials containing asbestos. The construction industry used asbestos in flooring, walls and ceilings mostly in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Â
Trained asbestos removal experts will be able to inspect the material and take a sample to test it to see whether it contains asbestos. They may also look at the joints of suspected asbestos sheets, as these types of sheets were often joined together on the outside using aluminium runners held on by small nails.Â
Â
The surface pattern on material is also a good indication of whether a material contains asbestos, as it will usually have a dimpled pattern or a swirl. An asbestos specialist will be fully trained on what to look for and will be able to determine whether the material should be removed.
It is important that any suspected asbestos is assessed by a qualified asbestos professional as soon as possible, to prevent potential health problems. The best way to find a qualified asbestos removal expert in your area is to use the Top Tradies directory.
