Professional Asbestos Removal Services in Richmond
Clearaway Abestos has the skills, equipment and experience to remove ACM (asbestos-containing materials) safely from your home or commercial premises. We work with a range of clients throughout Richmond who need asbestos sampling and removals in the quickest time.
Asbestos is often found in homes and industrial buildings in the UK built before 2000. This mineral used to be one of the commonly used materials in the building industry before we realised how dangerous it is.
Asbestos kills around 5,000 works a year in the UK and has been linked to such conditions as Mesothelioma (a cancer which affects the lining of the lungs), asbestos-related lung cancer, asbestosis, and pleural thickening. The latter usually occurs after heavy exposure to this type of material.
Why have asbestos sampling before refurbishments in Richmond?
Asbestos could be hiding in many different areas in your home, from water tanks, pipe lagging or loose-fill insulation to textured decorative coating, toilet cisterns and vinyl floor tiles. The same goes for industrial buildings where it’s found in a variety of places, including spray paint coatings and cement water tanks.
When disturbed, ACM will release fibres into the air which can easily be breathed in.
Clearaway Asbestos can carry out both sampling and asbestos removal services in Richmond. If required, we can remove ACM like roofing and have it replaced immediately afterwards.
When it comes to asbestos testing and R&D surveys, all samples are sent to our UKAS Accredited Asbestos Testing Lab. Our services include standard air testing and management surveys.
