Asbestos Surveys Holyrood

Why is asbestos harmful to your health? Unfortunately, asbestos was still a popular mineral back in the day. There was little information available about its potential dangers. After years of exposure, people began to realize the dangers. Many deaths were caused by asbestos exposure.

But what makes something so useful so dangerous? Ironically, the very properties that made asbestos such an admired building material are also the ones that make it so dangerous.

Because of how the minerals fibres break down, asbestos can be very harmful. This happens along the length of the mineral fibres, making them more easily accessible to the farthest part. As a result, they are much easier to inhale and difficult to remove once inhaled.

Because of these effects, asbestos was banned from the UK in 1985. Despite having been banned on several occasions in the past asbestos is still used by the U.S. and other nations in certain materials.

Core Asbestos Services can conduct a range of asbestos surveys to determine if there is asbestos in your buildings. After the survey, we will provide you with professional recommendations on any asbestos-containing materials that were identified and assist in the creation and implementation of an asbestos management plan.

Our basic asbestos services start from just £65.00 + VAT for lab testing of suspect materials and basic callouts start from just £125.00 + VAT.

In many cases, we can deliver asbestos survey reports same day of visit or within 48hrs (if lab sampling is required). ALL Lab testing is UKAS accredited.

We also do specific asbestos removals, including removal and demolition of garages and barns in Scotland. Vinyl floorings, artex coatings, and cement boards can be removed.
