Loose fill asbestos, a type of asbestos insulation, was commonly used in homes and buildings in Caerphilly and surrounding areas, particularly in loft spaces.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that contain fibres, which can be released into the air and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Loose fill asbestos, in particular, is a type of asbestos insulation that was used to fill cavities and loft spaces. It's made up of loose asbestos fibres that can easily become airborne, posing a significant risk to human health.

Removing loose fill asbestos requires specialized equipment, materials, and expertise. Our team at Helix Environmental Ltd uses the following steps to ensure safe and effective removal:

1. Containment: We set up a containment area to prevent asbestos fibres from spreading to other parts of the building.
2. Removal: We use specialized equipment, such as vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters, to carefully remove the loose fill asbestos.
3. Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the area to remove any remaining asbestos fibres.
4. Disposal: We dispose of the asbestos waste in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

To remove loose fill asbestos safely, we use the following materials and equipment:

• Specialized vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters
• Protective clothing, including gloves, masks, and suits

Loose fill asbestos often contains cement, which can make it more difficult to remove. The cement can bind the asbestos fibres together, making it harder to separate and remove them safely.
