Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos is a hazardous material that can be found in various buildings and structures in Caerphilly, particularly those constructed before the 1980s. If you suspect that a material in your home or workplace may contain asbestos, it's essential to have it tested by a qualified professional. At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we provide expert asbestos testing services to help you identify and manage asbestos risks.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in construction materials due to their durability, fire-resistance, and insulation properties. However, asbestos fibers can be released into the air when disturbed, posing a significant risk to human health.

Some common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Cement sheets and pipes
• Insulation boards
• Ceiling tiles
• Artex ceilings
• Floor tiles
• Roofing materials

• Vinyl floor tiles
• Textured coatings (e.g., Artex)
• Asbestos cement products (e.g., corrugated roofing sheets)
• Insulation materials (e.g., pipe lagging)

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. It's crucial to manage asbestos risks by identifying and removing or encapsulating asbestos-containing materials.

To test if something is asbestos, a qualified professional will collect samples of the material and send them to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will use techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify the presence of asbestos fibers.

While some asbestos removal work can be carried out by non-licensed contractors, it's essential to ensure that the work is done safely and in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. At Helix Environmental Ltd, we provide licensed asbestos removal services to ensure that the work is done correctly and safely.
