What is Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in many building materials including in domestic, educational, public and commercial settings from around 1930 until the 1990s. There are three common types of asbestos fibres still found in buildings across the UK:

White (chrysotile): the most common form, used in roofs, ceilings, walls and floors.
Blue (crocidolite): used in spray-on coatings, pipe insulation, plastics and cement products.
Brown (amosite): used in cement sheets, ceiling tiles and thermal insulation products.

The dangers of asbestos were realised in the 2000s, but by then it had already been used in a broad range of building materials and has since become a banned substance in the UK. Due to its hazardous nature, it’s vital that you get in touch with a professional and qualified asbestos removal company in Surrey to ensure that asbestos is removed and disposed of correctly.

Why is asbestos dangerous?

Since the 2000s, it has become widely known that asbestos is dangerous as, when materials containing asbestos deteriorate, they release hazardous and toxic fibres into the atmosphere which, if inhaled, can cause serious long-term health conditions including:

Lung cancer.
Mesothelioma: cancer of the lining of the chest and the abdominal cavity.
Asbestosis: where the lungs become scarred with fibrous tissue.

How is asbestos identified?

Asbestos is hard to identify visually as it lacks any defining characteristics. Fortunately, we at Waste Transport Services are a professional asbestos removal company in Surrey and can undertake full assessments to identify its presence. We can advise on further action and carry out the safe removal of it in accordance with Health & Safety Executive Regulations and Guidelines.

There are two types of surveys that we complete before undertaking our licensed asbestos removal in Surrey, as directed by UK legislation…

Management Asbestos Survey

A Management Asbestos Survey is a visual, non-invasive inspection that requires minimal sampling of areas where the presence of asbestos is suspected. Our qualified professionals will assess its condition and/or deterioration before providing recommendations on any remedial work that needs to be actioned, whether that be asbestos encapsulation or abatement.

Refurbishment/Demolition Survey

A Refurbishment/Demolition Survey is more invasive than a Management Asbestos Survey and is undertaken when a building is going to be upgraded, refurbished or demolished. For this survey to be completed, the property will need to be emptied and vacated as the process often disturbs large amounts of hazardous materials.

How is asbestos removed?

We are licensed professionals with extensive experience in asbestos removal in Surrey and are dedicated to giving our clients the peace of mind that they need. There are two main processes to remove asbestos and if you’ve been wondering what they involve here’s everything you need to know…

Asbestos Encapsulation

Asbestos encapsulation is used to treat asbestos if it is not widespread throughout the building or the building materials. This process involves applying a layer of sealant either directly to the surface of the asbestos-contaminated area or using an independent supporting framework and will stop toxic fibres from becoming damaged, disturbed or airborne.

Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos abatement is a more serious and invasive measure and is undertaken when asbestos is found to be widespread throughout your property. For asbestos abatement, the property will need to be vacated and areas will be sealed off before we demolish and dispose of any affected areas, including wallboards, floor tiles, roofing, construction mastics and more.

How is asbestos disposed of in Surrey?

Asbestos waste should be placed in sealed bags and placed into a sealed container. We supply enclosed lockable skips for asbestos disposal which can also be used with other hazardous wastes. As fully licensed asbestos removal specialists in Surrey, you can depend on us to safely remove the hazardous material from your site for you and arrange your asbestos disposal.
