Asbestos Removal
Asbestos removal requires specialist expertise and equipment. It should only be carried out by highly trained and monitored operatives.
At Aptiva, we adopt a considered approach to asbestos removal. Our projects are carried out carefully within controlled conditions and in accordance with various Asbestos Regulations and Health and Safety regulations.
Asbestos is the greatest single cause of work related deaths in the UK. It is likely that up to 1.5 million commercial, industrial and public buildings in the UK contain asbestos materials. Asbestos was used in hundreds of different products and buildings from the 1950s to the mid 1980s. Asbestos cement was used up until 1999 in a variety of different premises and materials.
Any building either commercial or industrial that was constructed or had major refurbishment between the 1950s and mid 1980s is likely to contain some type of asbestos containing material. Use of asbestos peaked in the 1960s and early 1970s - premises built or refurbished during this time are the most likely to contain some form of asbestos.
Asbestos contains properties that enable it to be mixed with other materials such as cement and take the form of a number of products including:
- Insulation
- Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB) - Ceiling and wall panels
- Sprayed coatings
- Fire protection to steelworks
