WHAT IS ASBESTOS?
Asbestos has naturally been formed over millions of years. It is produced as fibres with various mechanical properties. The main strength of asbestos is that it is very heat-resistant and does not conduct electricity.
Asbestos has been used for thousands of years, and its usefulness was initially discovered by the Romans. In modern times, it has been used in many situations, from World War 2 in defence material to common day products like toasters and hair dryers. In fact, virtually any product that is used involving heat or electricity, to some degree, uses asbestos. It is not just used in small or large appliances; it is also cultivated for use in residential and industrial properties.
The use of asbestos has, in fact, declined dramatically since the mid-1970s, when the potential dangers of this versatile substance became public knowledge. The use of blue (Crocidolite), brown (Amosite), and white (Chrysotile) is now banned in this country.
IS ASBESTOS ALWAYS DANGEROUS?
Though asbestos is not always an immediate danger, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) must be properly managed. UK regulations, guided by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), require that ACMs in buildings are kept in a safe condition. While encapsulation (sealing the asbestos) can be a temporary solution, removal is often necessary for long-term safety. Our team at Alliance Asbestos Services Ltd is trained to assess your situation and recommend the best course of action.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMOVE OR ENCAPSULATE ACMS?
The presence of ACMs poses serious health risks over time. Removing or encapsulating asbestos ensures your property remains safe and reduces the risk of exposure. We use advanced techniques and equipment to safely handle asbestos, minimising disruption to your property.

REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS TANK
Replied very promptly to my email, followed by estimate for work requested. The estimate was very reasonable, and the work was carried out that same morning. The gentleman was polite, swift and left no mess. I would recommend this company and would have no hesitation in using them again if need be.
WHAT HARM CAN ASBESTOS DO?
Asbestos fibres and dust can cause many problems. However, the only route of any known problem is through inhalation. Simply touching asbestos puts you at relatively little risk. Inhaling asbestos fibres and dust can lead to severe health issues, including:
-
Mesothelioma: A rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure, affecting the lining of the lungs or abdomen.
-
Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease caused by asbestos fibres scarring the lung tissue, leading to shortness of breath and fatigue.
-
Lung Cancer: The leading cause of death among asbestos workers, particularly those who smoke.
If you are concerned about asbestos exposure, it's crucial to consult your doctor immediately for further advice and information.
