Core are specialists in Asbestos Removal. We hold a 3 year Asbestos licence that was issued by the Health and Safety Executive granting us permission to safely remove Asbestos.
Why is Asbestos Removal Needed?
Before the hazards of Asbestos were fully recognised, many property developers and building companies used fire-retardant asbestos within domestic and commercial properties. Asbestos is often found in cladding, boilers, pipe insulation and textured coatings for walls and ceilings.
Although Asbestos may have been present in your premises for decades, as long as it is undisturbed and kept in a good condition it poses very little threat to health. However, there is always the risk that anyone doing work on the building could damage the Asbestos and release the dangerous Asbestos fibres.
These Asbestos fibres can lead to Asbestosis, Mesothelioma or even Lung Cancer. It can take between 15- 60 years after initial exposure before these serious Asbestos related diseases become apparent.
With Asbestos related diseases causing up to 3,000 deaths a year in the UK alone, it is vitally important that Asbestos removal is carried out by qualified licensed Asbestos removal companies.
