The cost of asbestos removal depends on the nature and extent of the work. Removing asbestos insulation in a loft, for example, would cost less to remove than a more extensive demolition project. When you contact us, we will conduct a site survey and provide you with a quote for the removal once we know more about your circumstances.

Asbestos exposure is more harmful when you have been exposed to it for a long period of time. One encounter with asbestos, whilst still cause for concern, is far less dangerous.

Asbestos related diseases can accumulate over time and are caused by asbestos fibres and dust becoming stuck in the lining of the lungs and other organs. If you’re concerned about asbestos exposure, contact your local healthcare provider.

Asbestos can only be correctly identified with the help of licensed asbestos surveyors. The material must be assessed in a lab; it can’t be identified at home by sight.

Prolonged asbestos exposure can cause asbestos-related diseases including asbestosis and cancers.

There are six types of asbestos that can be found in domestic and commercial buildings. These are:

• Actinolite (amphibole)
• Amosite (amphibole)
• Anthophyllite (amphibole)
• Chrysotile (serpentine)
• Crocidolite (amphibole)
• Tremolite (amphibole)

Asbestos can be a number of colours including white and blue. However, when it is embedded in building or decorating materials, it is not possible to identify it by colour.
