Materials That May Contain Asbestos

Asbestos was commonly used in building products such as insulation, flooring, roofing materials, and ceiling tiles before the 1980s. Some of the common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Insulation: Insulation around pipes, ducts, and boilers can contain asbestos.
• Vinyl floor tiles: Vinyl tiles installed before the 1980s may contain asbestos.
• Roofing materials: Shingles, siding, and other roofing materials may contain asbestos.
• Ceiling tiles: Suspended ceiling tiles may contain asbestos.

Many of these materials are still present in older buildings, including residential and commercial structures in Rescorla and surrounding areas.

Asbestos Removal Products Used

Asbestos removal involves the safe abatement and disposal of ACMs. We use a range of products and techniques to ensure safe and efficient removal, including:

• Personal protective equipment (PPE): We use full safety gear, including respirators, to protect our workers from asbestos exposure.
• Negative air pressure: We use negative air pressure to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading into the air during removal.
• HEPA vacuums: We use special vacuums with HEPA filters to pick up and contain asbestos fibers during removal.

Asbestos Removal Waste

Once asbestos-containing materials are identified and removed, they must be disposed of safely and properly. We use a licensed and regulated asbestos waste management company to ensure that these hazardous materials are disposed of according to UK regulations.
