Asbestos Removal in Staines

If you are worried about asbestos at a property in Staines, it is worth acting quickly. Asbestos refers to several minerals that form on metamorphic rock; made up of long, thin fibres, it takes on a fluffy texture when pulled apart. Once damaged it releases smaller fibres that can be breathed in or swallowed, and even in its natural state it can be dangerous if disturbed, which is why it is so important to have it removed from any building or site in Staines.

The material became popular during the industrial age, and it was not until the 1970s that the full harm was recognised; even then, it was not fully banned in the UK until 1999. Its properties saw it used in everything from insulation for buildings, boilers and pipes to car brakes and floor tiles, as well as in insulating boards to protect buildings and ships from fire and in cement for roofing sheets and pipes. The two most common types were white asbestos (chrysotile) and brown asbestos (amosite), used until their dangers were understood.
