Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in construction, including in corrugated sheets, until its ban in the UK in 1999. If you suspect that your corrugated sheet roofing in Caerphilly contains asbestos, it's essential to have it tested to ensure the health and safety of those who may be exposed to it.

Asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, when inhaled. If you're planning to remove or disturb a corrugated sheet roof, you must first determine whether it contains asbestos. This is a requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Testing for asbestos in corrugated sheets involves taking a sample of the material and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Start by identifying the material: Before testing, make sure you have identified the material as a corrugated sheet. Asbestos was often used in corrugated sheets, but it's not the only material that was used.
2. Take a sample: Use a trained and equipped professional to take a sample of the corrugated sheet. This should be done in a way that minimizes the risk of fibre release.
3. Send the sample to a laboratory: Send the sample to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will use techniques such as polarized light microscopy (PLM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to identify the presence of asbestos fibres.
4. Get the results: The laboratory will provide a report detailing the results of the analysis. If asbestos is present, the report will indicate the type and amount of asbestos fibres found.

If asbestos is found in your corrugated sheet roof, you'll need to take immediate action to minimize the risk of fibre release. This may involve:

• Sealing the roof: Sealing the roof to prevent fibre release
• Removing the roof: Removing the roof and disposing of it safely
• Encapsulating the roof: Encapsulating the roof to prevent fibre release
