Why Hiring an Asbestos Removal Company Is a Safety Essential

Writer's picture: MD Asbestos Solutions LtdMD Asbestos Solutions Ltd

Asbestos is a hidden danger in many older buildings across the UK. Although banned in 1999, this hazardous material still exists in homes, workplaces, and industrial buildings constructed before the legislation came into effect. If disturbed, asbestos releases harmful fibres into the air that can cause life-threatening health problems. Handling asbestos is not only dangerous but also illegal unless done by trained professionals.

 

At MD Asbestos Solutions Ltd, we are asbestos specialists offering professional testing, removal, and disposal services to ensure your property is safe and compliant with UK regulations. Here we explain why hiring a professional asbestos removal company is essential in protecting your health, property, and peace of mind.


Understanding the Dangers of Asbestos


Asbestos was widely used in the UK throughout the 20th century due to its heat-resistant and insulation properties. Common in roofing, insulation, flooring, and pipework, asbestos was a staple in construction for decades. However, it is now recognised as one of the most hazardous materials to human health.

 

When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed or damaged, tiny fibres are released into the air. These fibres are invisible to the naked eye and, if inhaled, can cause severe health conditions, including:


●      Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer of the lung lining caused exclusively by asbestos exposure.

●      Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease that causes scarring of the lung tissue, leading to difficulty breathing.

●      Lung Cancer: A significant risk for individuals with prolonged asbestos exposure, especially those working in construction or industrial settings.


Because these diseases often take decades to develop, many people remain unaware of their exposure until it is too late. This makes early identification through asbestos testing and safe removal crucial.

 

At MD Asbestos Solutions Ltd, our team of fully qualified asbestos specialists uses advanced tools and techniques to locate and assess asbestos in your property. Our thorough approach ensures the risks are managed before they escalate into serious health hazards.

Why DIY Asbestos Removal Is Never Safe

Some property owners may believe they can save money by attempting to remove asbestos themselves. However, DIY asbestos removal is not only dangerous but also illegal under UK regulations. Here’s why you should never attempt to handle asbestos without professional help:

High Health Risks

Disturbing asbestos without the correct equipment and knowledge can release harmful fibres into the air. Without proper containment, these fibres can spread throughout your property, endangering your family, employees, or contractors.

Legal Penalties

The UK has strict asbestos regulations, including the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. These laws mandate that asbestos must only be handled, removed, and disposed of by licensed professionals. Breaching these regulations can result in hefty fines or even legal action.

Improper Disposal

Asbestos waste cannot be disposed of with normal rubbish. Licensed facilities are required to manage asbestos disposal safely. Attempting to dispose of asbestos yourself can harm the environment and lead to serious legal consequences.

 

By hiring a professional asbestos removal company like MD Asbestos Solutions Ltd, you protect yourself and others from unnecessary risks. Our team has the knowledge, tools, and certifications to manage asbestos safely and ensure all legal requirements are met.


The Role of Asbestos Specialists


Handling asbestos requires more than just protective gear – it demands expertise, precision, and adherence to strict safety protocols. As MD Asbestos Solutions Ltd, our fully trained asbestos specialists provide a comprehensive approach to asbestos management, ensuring every stage is handled with care.


Asbestos Testing and Surveys


Identifying asbestos in a property requires specialised techniques. Our team conducts asbestos testing and surveys to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials. Using laboratory analysis, we confirm the type of asbestos present and determine the safest course of action.


Safe Asbestos Removal


Once asbestos has been identified, our team follows strict removal procedures. We use specialist equipment and containment strategies to minimise the release of fibres. Whether you need asbestos removed from a single room or an entire building, we ensure the process is carried out safely and efficiently.


Asbestos Collections and Disposal


After removal, asbestos waste must be transported and disposed of at a licensed facility. At MD Asbestos Solutions Ltd, we provide professional asbestos collections and ensure compliant asbestos disposal, eliminating any risk of environmental contamination.


Preventative Measures and Advice


Once asbestos is removed, we provide expert advice on how to keep your property asbestos-free. Our goal is to ensure you feel safe and confident in the long-term safety of your home or workplace.


The Benefits of Hiring Skilled Professionals


When it comes to asbestos, cutting corners is never an option. Attempting to handle this hazardous material on your own – or hiring an unqualified contractor – can lead to serious risks for your health, your property, and even your legal standing. That’s why working with trained professionals is not just a good idea – it’s an essential step for your safety.
