In Manchester, an asbestos survey is carried out by a skilled team of asbestos experts at ACS. Following initial contact, they will arrange a time to come and inspect your property. During this assessment they will identify the presence of asbestos. There are a number of common indicators that show asbestos may be present. If any building materials are discoloured or damaged, asbestos may be the cause. If your property was built in the 1960’s and 70’s, it is highly likely that asbestos will have been used during the construction of your home. Samples will be taken from your property and transported to a laboratory for testing. If asbestos is found, you will need to make arrangements to have it removed in a safe and efficient manner. This will involve a team of asbestos removal experts entering your home and removing the asbestos whilst using specialist breathing equipment.
Conducting an asbestos survey in Manchester helps to prevent the risk of asbestos related diseases. Asbestos comes in the form of tiny fibres which, if disturbed, become airborne. They can be inhaled and these sharp fibres can damage the internal walls of the lungs, leading to bleeding. The fibres are also carcinogenic. If you require an asbestos survey, contact ACS.
