What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were commonly used for insulation, fireproofing, and other construction materials in the past. Despite its many benefits, asbestos is also known to be a dangerous carcinogen that can cause serious health problems when its fibres become airborne and are inhaled.

Due to its hazardous properties, it was banned for use in the UK in 1999, but it can still be found in many homes and buildings across the country. Its abundance in old structures is a serious public health concern, as inhaling its fibres can lead to lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.

How To Handle Asbestos-Containing Materials

Asbestos-containing materials are present in different parts of a building, such as ceilings, walls, and doors. Therefore, it's essential to know how to handle these materials safely and responsibly. If you think you have an asbestos-containing door, you should immediately contact a licensed asbestos removal company, such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, to come and inspect the material.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, our team of professionals can to carry out a survey and testing to determine if an asbestos-containing material is present. We'll take samples of the material and send them to a UKAS accredited laboratory to test for asbestos fibres.

It's important to never attempt to remove or handle asbestos-containing materials yourself. This includes drilling, sawing or breaking asbestos doors. Doing so can cause dangerous fibres to be released into the air, leading to serious health risks.

Asbestos Disposal Regulations

Asbestos can't be recycled because it's a hazardous material. Recycling asbestos or using it in any product is prohibited by law. However, some asbestos-containing materials can sometimes be reused, such as asbestos cement, which can be sent to a burial site without being treated.
