Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was commonly used in construction until the late 1990s. If you suspect that your home in Caerphilly may contain asbestos, it's essential to get it tested to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get your house tested for asbestos in Caerphilly.

Asbestos is a significant health risk, and exposure to it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. If you're planning to refurbish or renovate your home, it's crucial to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) to avoid disturbing them and releasing asbestos fibers into the air.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your property to identify any ACMs. A chartered surveyor from a reputable company like Helix Environmental Ltd will visit your home to carry out the survey. They will inspect all areas of the building, including the roof, walls, floors, and ceilings, to identify any materials that may contain asbestos.

There are two types of asbestos surveys: management surveys and refurbishment surveys. A management survey is a routine inspection to identify any ACMs in your home, while a refurbishment survey is more detailed and is carried out when you're planning to renovate or refurbish your property.

During the survey, the surveyor will:

• Inspect all areas of the building to identify any ACMs
• Take samples of materials that may contain asbestos
• Analyze the samples in a laboratory to confirm the presence of asbestos
• Provide a detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations for safe removal or management of the ACMs

When choosing an asbestos surveyor, make sure they are:

• Chartered and experienced in asbestos surveys
• Fully insured and compliant with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Based in Caerphilly or have experience working in the local area

If asbestos is found in your home, the surveyor will provide recommendations for safe removal or management of the ACMs. It's essential to follow their advice to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones.
