What is asbestos thermal insulation and why is it dangerous?

Asbestos thermal insulation refers to the use of asbestos materials for insulating pipes, boilers, and other high-temperature equipment. It was widely used for its excellent heat resistance and durability but has long been known to pose serious health risks.

Asbestos thermal insulation is hazardous because it can release microscopic asbestos fibres when disturbed. These fibres can be inhaled and lead to serious health issues like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

How is asbestos thermal insulation removal carried out?

Asbestos thermal insulation removal involves a highly controlled process. This includes sealing off the area, using specialised equipment, and adhering to strict health and safety regulations to ensure the removal and disposal of the materials is done safely.

Where might asbestos thermal insulation be found in buildings?

Asbestos thermal insulation is commonly found around older pipes, boilers, and heating systems, particularly in buildings constructed before the 1980s. If suspected, it should be inspected and tested by professionals.

Can I stay in my building during asbestos thermal insulation removal?

In most cases, you may need to vacate the area during the whole removal process; however, our asbestos removal teams will advise on the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.

Pipe lagging is licensed work for our licensed asbestos removal team. Once it is out, our asbestos reinstatement team puts the insulation and boxing back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently asked for a piece of torrazzo flooring to be tested for asbestos content.  Fast friendly and professional service was provided.  Really simple process to get a sample tested. Reasonable price for that peace of mind if you suspect something may contain asbestos. Highly recommend .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can absolutely recommend this company and their meticulous work. They arrived exactly on time - dismantled the asbestos shed (see photos)and cleared it all thoroughly away - all within 2 hours. Highly delighted with the work which they carried out. (...And quite a lot cheaper than other competitors' quotes)
