Asbestos removal, surveying and disposal throughout Cornwall & Devon

Why is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral made up of soft, flexible fibres. It is heat resistant, a great insulator, and resistant to electricity and corrosion. Essentially, it’s a fantastic building material; however, asbestos is highly toxic and can cause serious disease and injury such as lung cancer and asbestosis.
​
Asbestos is a group of 6 naturally occurring materials that has been used in any number of building projects up until 2000. Sadly thousands of workers in the building industry die each year from asbestos related injuries and with so much of it still in existence in buildings around the UK, it’s important to remove it and dispose of it safely wherever possible.
​
Equipped with the very best personal protective equipment (PPE) our asbestos surveyors and operatives are able to assess the issue and remove it safely and appropriately to avoid someone becoming ill from this hazardous substance.
