Asbestos Removal
Asbestos is a natural mineral made up of many small fibres. There are three main types: blue asbestos – crocidolite, brown asbestos – amosite and white asbestos - chrysotile. Asbestos can be harmful if dust containing the fibre is inhaled.
The risk from asbestos where the fibres are still intact (such as in asbestos cement) is significantly reduced. However, always treat all asbestos products with caution as potential sources of fibrous dust, and handle them carefully.
If you think you have come across asbestos in your home or office and you're unsure about whether the material contains asbestos, don't take any chances. Contact us for advice and a free quotation,
always take precautions, and do not disturb any material you suspect might be Asbestos.
Lead Removal
Lead is a toxic heavy metal and it is found in many different products including rolled lead sheeting, paints, glass, solder, plastic and rubber compounds, therefore, workers can be exposed to lead in a variety of work activities. Lead exposure is one of the oldest known occupational hazards. The two routes of entry for lead in to the body are: inhalation of dusts or fumes containing lead and the ingestion (swallowing) of lead containing materials. Lead is very toxic to the human body and prolonged or repeated exposure causes damage to the nervous system, kidneys, blood and it is suspected of causing cancer.
If your home was built before 1978, have your home tested for lead and learn about potential lead hazards. Signs of lead hazards include; Peeling paint and lead dust. A risk assessment is the best way to screen for these problems.
Mould Removal
Fungi and mould have existed on earth since life first began and results in the natural decomposition (recycling) of organic materials. In current housing & business premises (the built environment) fungi and mould can damage organic materials used in construction. The growth of fungi and mould on materials in your property can affect human health depending on the extent of the growth, the length of exposure and the health status of the exposed occupants. The growth of mould in a house or building can become the cause of illness. The most common symptoms from the exposure to mould in indoor environments are:
- Runny nose
- Eye Irritation
- Coughs
- Congestion’s
- Headache
