Do I have Asbestos Ceiling Tiles?


If you have ceiling tiles that look like the following:There is a chance you may have asbestos ceiling tiles, they can be found in many places and these pictures just show what a few of them look like, if you’re in any doubt then why not have the surface tested?These products can also be found in partition walls, fireproofing panels in fire doors, lift shaft linings, ceiling tiles, soffits and panels below windows to mention only a few areas.

Don’t forget with most of these boards it is difficult to tell the difference by just visual inspection. This is why the HSE advise testing on these areas.

For help and advice please contact Dan here at Top Asbestos.

Asbestos Cement Removal gone wrong!

 

The picture below shows the absolute importance of picking the correct contractor.

As it happens, here at Top Asbestos we are aware that one of our regular customers had been suffering from a previous asbestos contractor neglecting their responsibility and failing to dispose of the asbestos in accordance to HSE regulations.

 

 

This waste ended up in a lovely forest often frequented by families and was found by a group of children playing.  Soon after the mess was found we received a phone call asking us to get down there immediately to clear up.

It is essential to always make sure when using an asbestos cement removal service that your contractor can provide waste disposal notes. This not only covers you legally in your ‘duty of care’ but also gives you peace of mind that your waste isn’t somewhere is shouldn’t be causing pollution and damage.

MP’s encourage the removal of asbestos in our schools

A report has been released warning that 75% of state schools are exposing all those who enter the premises to asbestos fibers.

The amount of asbestos has been described as a “national scandal” The report is aimed at encouraging the government to bring in a programme to help with the removal of asbestos within schools.

 

 

This report comes after more than 140 teachers died from mesothelioma in 10 years this encouraged Labour MP Jim Sheridan for Paisley and Renfrewshire North, to say “This is a national scandal. Urgent action is needed to prevent more pupils, teachers and other staff being exposed to this deadly killer dust.

“We need both far greater awareness of the risks that this material poses and a programme for its phased removal.”

We will wait to see if the government put this in to action and start to give people the safe environment they deserve.

However, it’s a process we do across the UK every week, so we’re experts at it, and ones to go to if you suspect asbestos to be around your pipes at home or workplace.

Asbestos removal Camden

Camden – loved by tourists, goths and Amy Winehouse. Also loved by us – as asbestos removal Camden is in our top 20 most common places in London to find the stuff.
How come? Well, most buildigs in Camden are old – there’s hardly been any new builds compared to neighbouring areas, and the old mills and factory places have been renovated to house the hundreds of hairdressers, clothes shops and tatoo parlours that make up the place. With all these renovations come surveys – which 99% of the time pick up some form of asbestos at least somewhere in the building. We’re ridding the town of the stuff, slowly but surely.
