Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in insulation in buildings across the UK, including Caerphilly, until the 1980s. If you suspect that your insulation may contain asbestos, it's essential to get it tested to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.

Asbestos fibres can be released into the air when insulation is disturbed, causing serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Prolonged exposure to asbestos fibres can lead to these conditions, making it crucial to identify and remove asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from your property.

If you're concerned about asbestos in your insulation, follow these steps:

1. Contact a Licensed Asbestos Contractor: Reach out to a reputable asbestos removal company, like Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, to arrange for a sample to be taken from your insulation.
