Between the 1950’s and 1980’s asbestos was widely used in the construction of home and business premises, at the time the related health implications were not understood. However, in modern Britain around 3500 people die each year from lung cancer, caused by exposure to asbestos and mesothelioma.

It is thought that many homes still have asbestos present somewhere within the infrastructure of the property and the numbers of those likely to die from related illnesses are expected to rise over the coming years. Fortunately, there are companies dedicated to offering asbestos removal Cardiff area, to rid homes of this potential killer, such as RJ Environmental Services Ltd.

If you are concerned that your home may contain asbestos, you can arrange for a member of their knowledgeable team to visit your property and carry out a survey to assess whether asbestos is present. It is primarily identified by fibre analysis; from there these experts can classify which type of asbestos is present.

There are three types of asbestos that can be found in homes and businesses; asbestos cement, asbestos boarding and sprayed asbestos. Whilst another common form of asbestos in homes is floor tiles.

Once identified, their team can contain all traces of the material safely, using a method called encapsulation. The asbestos is coated to prevent it from realising its fibres into the air; in some cases this is much safer than removing the panels or sheets that contain asbestos. To ensure the safety of their employees they always wear protective clothing, masks and specialist equipment. They also label all encapsulated panels so that future contractors are aware that asbestos is present.

Essentially they offer a one stop solution for asbestos removal, from identification, removal to disposal. All customers can rest assured that the waste material will be disposed of in an environmentally friendly fashion that will not harm others.
