Whether you have lived in your home for many years or you have recently purchased a commercial property, recognising the areas where asbestos could have been used is vitally important to the health of all those who use the building.

With extensive knowledge and a wealth of experience, we assure you of a thorough service on every occasion.
Asbestos was used as a strengthening material for many building materials up until the 1970s when the harm to human health was discovered. Asbestos fibres are very dangerous as they split into fine particles which when inhaled can cause considerable damage to the lungs.
The hazardous nature of the material means property owners must be aware of the presence of asbestos and act accordingly. Those who own buildings that were either built or refurbished between 1950 and 1980 should be particularly vigilant as asbestos was commonly used during this period of time.
Identifying asbestos can be difficult, which is why is it always best to call upon a professional and fully qualified team such as ourselves to carry out a thorough assessment of your property. Should we discover asbestos, rest assured the removal and disposal carried out will be in line with all current legislation regarding asbestos.
Asbestos is only a risk to human health when it becomes damaged, allowing the fibres to enter the atmosphere. It is because of this that removal and disposal is not always necessary; in this instance we will work closely with you to ensure an asbestos management plan is in place that will incorporate regular testing.
