Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos roofing sheets were widely used in buildings across Caerphilly, Cardiff, and the surrounding areas until the 1990s. However, due to the hazardous nature of asbestos, it is essential to handle and dispose of these materials safely to prevent health risks. At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we specialize in asbestos removal and disposal, ensuring that our clients in Caerphilly and beyond can trust us to handle this hazardous material with care.

Asbestos is a carcinogenic material that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, when inhaled. When asbestos roofing sheets are damaged or deteriorate, they release fibers into the air, posing a significant risk to human health. Therefore, it is crucial to dispose of asbestos roofing sheets safely and responsibly.

Disposing of asbestos roofing sheets requires careful planning and execution to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Arrange for Asbestos Removal: If you have asbestos roofing sheets that need to be removed, you must hire a licensed asbestos removal contractor, like Helix Environmental Ltd. Our operatives are trained and equipped to handle asbestos safely and efficiently.
2. Encapsulation or Removal: Depending on the condition of the asbestos roofing sheets, our team will either encapsulate the material to prevent fiber release or remove it entirely.
3. Wrap and Label: Once removed, the asbestos material will be wrapped in specialized bags or sheets and labeled as hazardous waste.
4. Collection and Disposal: We will arrange for the safe collection and transportation of the asbestos waste to a licensed disposal facility.
5. Waste Disposal: The asbestos waste will be disposed of in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Waste Management Regulations.

When handling asbestos roofing sheets, it is essential to take safety precautions to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers. This includes:

• Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, gloves, and suits
• Ensuring good ventilation to prevent fiber accumulation in the air
• Avoiding power tools and high-pressure washes, which can release fibers into the air
• Keeping the work area clean and tidy to prevent fiber spread
