Asbestos In Artex
A lot of buildings in the present day contain Artex. It was not until the late 90s that a ban on asbestos in Artex was introduced. It is not Artex itself that has the potential to be hazardous, but the poisonous asbestos fibres inside it. If you suspect there could be Artex in your property, you may be concerned about how your health could be affected. In many instances, if Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are left untampered, your health is not at risk. However, if you want a refurbishment or any building work that involves disrupting potential ACMs, you will need to investigate if it contains asbestos first.
The Importance Of Asbestos Awareness
With asbestos being made from highly hazardous microscopic fibres, the importance of asbestos awareness could not be understated. If breathed in, asbestos can cause significant damage to your respiratory system and many other health issues. Before it was realised as a risk to health, asbestos was present in thousands of products. Many buildings from up to the late nineties contained Artex. Performing any building work on buildings containing asbestos fibres could be detrimental to your well-being.
If you think there is asbestos in your property, get in touch today. Our trained team will be able to recommend an appropriate asbestos removal and asbestos disposal solution, adhering to Environment Agency Regulations.
Asbestos Surveys
Here at Cornwall Asbestos Removal, we can arrange for a trusted independent surveyor to carry out asbestos surveys. The surveyor will be able to identify whether asbestos requires removal or covering, also known as encapsulation. Asbestos encapsulation is a form of asbestos management which involves applying a protective layer to the ACM, protecting it from damage. The encapsulating material can take the form of a sprayed coat, sheet, board or piece of fabric. If the ACM is not in proper condition prior to the encapsulating procedure, preparatory solutions may be offered. Do not hesitate to give us a call today to find to more about asbestos surveys and our asbestos management service. Our helpful team will be happy to answer any enquiries you may have.
