Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos is a highly hazardous material that was once widely used in building construction, particularly in the Caerphilly area. However, due to the serious health risks associated with asbestos fibres, it is now strictly regulated and must be handled and disposed of with great care.

Asbestos fibres can become airborne and be inhaled, causing serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed or damaged, they release these fibres into the air, posing a significant risk to human health.

In Caerphilly, asbestos removal must be carried out by a licensed and experienced contractor, such as Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff. Our team of experts has over 10 years of experience in safely removing and disposing of asbestos-containing materials.

Asbestos waste is classified as hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This means that it must be handled, stored, and transported in a way that prevents the release of asbestos fibres into the air.

There are several safe disposal methods for asbestos waste, including:

1. Encapsulation: This involves sealing the asbestos-containing material in a special enclosure to prevent the release of fibres.
2. Secure Landfill: Asbestos waste can be disposed of in a licensed landfill site, where it is buried in a secure and controlled environment.
3. Asbestos Disposal Facilities: Specialized facilities are available for the disposal of asbestos waste, where it is handled and treated in accordance with strict safety protocols.

When handling asbestos, it is essential to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and a disposable suit. The work area must be sealed off to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres, and a decontamination procedure must be followed to prevent cross-contamination.

In Caerphilly, it is essential to work with a licensed and experienced asbestos removal contractor, such as Helix Environmental Ltd, to ensure that asbestos is disposed of safely and in accordance with regulations.
