Asbestos Disposal Basingstoke

Most people know the dangers of asbestos. They know that it may not be something that they want in their home, and they may know that it can be harmful to our health, causing mesothelioma, a type of cancer.  However, the one question that people have is what to do if you find asbestos in your home, or if you suspect something in your home may contain asbestos.  Read on to learn the answer to this question.

If you are asking what to do if you find asbestos, it is important to understand that undisturbed asbestos in good condition is not harmful. It only becomes harmful if the fibres within the product are disturbed.  As such, if you suspect a building material contains asbestos, it should be left undisturbed until it is tested.  Do not remove it, or disturb it.  Call in an asbestos company to test the item. If the item tests positive, we can complete asbestos disposal services. This includes safely removing the item from your home or commercial building and then disposing of it in accordance with the law. Asbestos is not something that you should be attempting to remove yourself or work around, so always call in a professional if asbestos is suspected.
