There are three kinds of asbestos commonly found in UK buildings: Chrysotile, Amosyte and Crocidolite. They contain different levels of asbestos fibres, which come with serious health risks like asbestosis, mesothelioma and other asbestos-led cancers. All three types of asbestos were banned in the UK in 1999. While you can carry out your own asbestos removal, it is a job best left to the professionals who have the correct asbestos removal skills, equipment, and experience. We will make the premises safe quickly and efficiently, so you can get on with running the business.

Asbestos was an extremely effective material. It solved all manner of construction issues. But it also comes with terrible risks to health for humans and animals. In 1999 the dangers of asbestos were officially recognised for the first time in the UK, leading to a wholesale ban of the mineral. Asbestos disposal has been an issue ever since, with potentially millions of buildings containing one or other of the top three asbestos types found here. Our asbestos disposal team will remove the risk for you, cleaning the space of asbestos to leave it safe and ready for use.

Chrysotile is the most common type of asbestos used in the UK, accounting for more than 90% of asbestos in commercial premise. Amosite, also called brown asbestos, is the second most common, followed by the rare blue asbestos or Crocidolite, once widely used in insulation materials. Air monitoring is essential to establish the danger levels of all three substances, and we can do that for you. With our help you’ll know the exact level of un-removable asbestos in the premises via air monitoring, giving you the insights and statistics you need to keep people safe into the future.
