Asbestos Removal in Basildon

Although asbestos use has been banned in the UK for years, the legacy of asbestos endures in the form of all the asbestos-containing products installed in homes and businesses during the 20th century. And while great progress has been made in removing legacy asbestos from residential and commercial buildings since the ban took place, there is still a lot more work to do. If your home or business is more than 25 years old and you suspect it may contain asbestos you should call us immediately for professional asbestos removal in Basildon.

Why Are We Still Dealing With Asbestos?

You would think that 25 years on from implementing a ban on asbestos in new construction that the problem would be resolved, and we could all breathe a bit easier. Unfortunately, that is not the case. While the ban was a necessary (and long overdue) first step, it did nothing to remove all the asbestos already in place in buildings nationwide. That responsibility passed to private contractors like Asbestos Gone, whose team members have undergone rigorous asbestos mitigation and removal training.

Asbestos Removal in Basildon: Not a DIY Project

We encounter people all the time who want to know if they can remove suspected asbestos-containing materials from their home themselves. The answer is an emphatic "No". First of all, even a small mistake during the removal process could make an already bad situation much worse. And second, UK law specifically states that asbestos removal and handling can only be done by properly trained and certified individuals, like those who work at Asbestos Gone.

The Slow-Motion Threat

Brand new asbestos products present very little threat. It is only after many years when these items begin to break down and release the potentially deadly asbestos fibres that the threat manifests. The more time passes, the more fibres are released and the more the threat increases. Long-term health effects can include serious respiratory issues including a type of cancer called mesothelioma.

Contact Asbestos Gone

Anyone tempted to believe the asbestos threat is exaggerated need only consider this: last year, 25 years after the ban took place, some 5,000 UK residents died of asbestos-related illness.

The asbestos threat is very real so don't wait another minute. If you believe asbestos-containing products (insulation, ceiling tiles etc) are present in your home contact us immediately by calling 0207 117 2802 and ask about asbestos removal in Basildon.
