Asbestos Removal

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral; if you think it has been used on your property, contact an asbestos removal service for its safe removal. Read on to learn why removing toxic substances requires professional assistance. We shall discuss how it has been used in construction work and why it's dangerous to disturb it without professional help.

Asbestos Removal

Why is Asbestos banned in the UK, and how can an asbestos removal contractor help you?

Asbestos is a natural mineral used in construction because of its high heat resistance. It has been found that Persians and Egyptians, too, knew how to use the insulation material. The material has been widely used for its fire-resistant elements in construction, the automobile sector, and ship boilers. Its highly heat-resistant characteristics made it widely famous until its dark side was discovered in the mid-90s in the UK.

If an individual is exposed to a cloud of this toxic element for an extended period, inhaling its fibre can cause him asbestosis. Prolonged exposure can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and respiratory problems. The Asbestos removal service became relevant when the UK government decided to ban its use in construction and other sectors, considering its hazardous characteristics and potential to harm human health.

Our asbestos removal service at Demolition Contractors London (DCL) can help protect your health by safely removing this carcinogenic material from your property. Our expert asbestos removal contractor can identify the material and use customised techniques to remove it. Now, let’s learn about different types of Asbestos and its usage. It will help you to be more cautious about the possible presence of carcinogenic elements in your property.

Different types of Asbestos and its usage

White Asbestos, or chrysolite, is the most common form used in constructing roofs, making insulation, painting, and other applications. Brown Asbestos, or amosite, was used primarily for insulation and manufacturing fireproof materials. Its primary purpose was to protect materials from extreme heat. It has needle-like fibres, and exposure to them is dangerous to human health. Blue Asbestos, or crocidolite, was used in protective clothes to protect from heat or acids. It was perfect to use on clothes to get protection from heat due to its thin fibre.

At DCL, our expert and licensed asbestos removal contractor can collect samples from your property and test them at our labs for potential traces of the toxic substance. Based on the type and usage of the toxic substance, special protective measures could be taken.

Asbestos abatement using water

If it is found on your property, our expert asbestos removal contractor can soak it with water using measured water spray before removing it. Water is the best possible solution to prevent the spread of its toxic fibre in the air during its removal. Water before the clearing process needs to be utilised so that it does not overflow the site and cause the asbestos-containing materials to flow through the drainage system.

It will further contaminate the environment. However, considering its hazardous nature, permissions are required from the relevant governmental bodies. Upon receiving their permission, the clearing process can be commenced. To safeguard human beings and the environment, only a certified and licenced asbestos removal contractor can provide you with asbestos clearing and disposal services.
