Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

At Helix Environmental Ltd, trading as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, we have conducted numerous asbestos surveys in Caerphilly and surrounding areas. One particular case that stands out was when we were called to a residential property in Caerphilly to conduct an asbestos survey.

The property in question was a semi-detached house that had been built in the 1960s. The family who owned the property had been told by a neighbor that the ceiling in their living room might contain asbestos. The family, who had young children, were naturally concerned about the potential health risks associated with asbestos and decided to take action.

Our team of experts, led by a licensed asbestos surveyor, arrived at the property and began the survey. We started by inspecting the ceiling, which was a textured Artex ceiling, a common material used in the 1960s and 1970s that often contains asbestos. Our surveyor used a combination of visual inspections and sampling to determine the presence of asbestos.

After conducting the survey, we found that the ceiling did indeed contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). We also discovered that the property's cabinet had been damaged, which had disturbed the asbestos fibers, making them airborne. This posed a significant risk to the family's health and safety.

Interestingly, the property had previously been used as a school, and the council had been responsible for its maintenance. However, it seemed that the asbestos had not been properly managed or removed during the property's conversion to a residential dwelling.

We worked closely with the family to develop a removal and management plan that would ensure their safety and the safety of our workers. We conducted the asbestos removal work in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and followed strict safety protocols to minimize the risk of asbestos exposure.

After completing the removal work, we provided the family with a comprehensive report detailing the findings of the survey, the removal work, and recommendations for future management of the property. We also advised the family on how to maintain a safe and healthy environment in their home.

Thanks to our prompt and professional asbestos survey and removal services, the family was able to rest assured that their home was safe and free from the risks associated with asbestos. We take pride in our work and are committed to providing excellent service to our clients in Caerphilly and beyond.
