ASBESTOS REMOVAL

ASBESTOS REMOVAL SERVICES IN BLACKPOOL

The need for quality asbestos removal in Blackpool remains a pressing concern more than two decades after the hazardous substance was banned. A class one carcinogen, asbestos poses a serious health risk in homes, workplaces, schools and beyond. Traditionally mixed with cement, plastic, insulation and other construction materials, the naturally occurring mineral becomes dangerous when damaged or disturbed. Removal is the best option to eliminate possible harm, and we are here to help in that endeavour.

As with many towns and cities across the country, Blackpool has a long history of asbestos usage. Asbestos products played an essential role in post-war rebuilding efforts, allowing Lancashire authorities to bolster crucial infrastructure in a cost-effective manner. However, many decades later, asbestos removal in Blackpool still has a long way to go before total safety is achieved.

A 2015 report by The Garstang Courier found that 570 of Lancashire’s 617 schools contained asbestos. According to data released following a Freedom of Information Request, schools in Blackpool and the Fylde Borough were heavily contaminated in particular, highlighting the need for quality abatement works.

A further investigation by The Lancashire Post revealed that, between 2012 and 2015, Lancashire County Council paid out £672,094 in asbestos compensation claims and associated costs. Proactive asbestos management and removal programmes can minimise such expenditure, and that belief has always motivated our work.

There are a broad range of ways to deal with asbestos. Depending on the volume, variety, location and condition of asbestos in a building, the material can be managed as follows:

• Partial removal

• Full removal

• Encapsulation

• Bulk sampling

• Laboratory testing

• Periodic inspection

• Fibre suppression

• Safe disposal

• Land remediation

We maintain a full asbestos removal license, issued by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), underpinning our expertise in all forms of asbestos inspection, management and abatement. Coupled with our proven mastery of the Lancashire market, there is no need to look any further for Blackpool asbestos companies.
