Asbestos Garage Removal
Whole asbestos garages and asbestos garages roofs are common in the UK. For the most part, they are reasonably safe if left undisturbed. However, problems start to arise once they are damaged or when deterioration starts to occur as it gives the asbestos fibres a chance to become airborne. The life expectancy of asbestos cement sheets is known to be approximately 20 to 40 years, after which time the material can become brittle, porous, and susceptible to cracking which enables water ingress. Asbestos was widely used in the building industry in the UK up until 1999, when all asbestos usage was banned. Asbestos was a widely handled material due to its ability to withstand erosion, decay, heat, and weathering.
Roof Sheet Removal
Great care must be taken when replacing an asbestos garage or garage roof sheets, as any breakages to the sheets may lead to exposure to airborne asbestos fibres. It’s advised that you hire professionals to remove any asbestos product, even if it’s non-licensed work, as it isn’t worth the risk and if an asbestos sheet accidently becomes damaged, it would be doubtful a household or tradesman who’s not in the asbestos industry would have the equipment, procedures, or training to deal with the incident correctly and safely.
Waste Disposal
The disposal of asbestos garage roof waste is as important as the method of replacing it. Asbestos cannot be buried or dumped and must be transported safely and disposed of correctly. Once ID Asbestos has disposed of your asbestos, we will issue you a hazardous waste consignment note for your records and for traceability if ever required.
