IN FARNBOROUGH

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring mineral fibres, valued for their durability, heat resistance, and fireproof properties. It was used in a range of construction materials, such as insulation, roofing, and cement products. There are three primary types of asbestos:

● Chrysotile (White Asbestos): The most common type, used in products like insulation and cement.

● Amosite (Brown Asbestos): Often found in thermal and pipe insulation.

● Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos): Known for its high-temperature resistance, used in steam engines and coatings.

While asbestos is beneficial in certain applications, it becomes hazardous when its fibres are disturbed and released into the air, where they can be inhaled or ingested. This can lead to serious long-term health problems, such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

The goal of asbestos removal is to eliminate the risks posed by asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These materials can be found in various forms, such as boards, insulation, and coatings. If it’s decided that an ACM needs to be removed, we may also consider reinstating it with a non-asbestos alternative.

For example, a textured coating on a plasterboard ceiling might need to be removed if access to the ceiling void is required, such as for installing new cables or lighting. In this case, we would replace the ceiling with modern plasterboard to ensure future access without the risk of asbestos exposure.
