    ASBESTOS REMOVAL

    At Rapid Demo, we’re experts in safe asbestos removal. With over 20 years of experience, we know how to handle this hazardous material properly. Whether you’ve got asbestos in your home or business, we’re here to sort it out quickly and safely.

    WHAT IS ASBESTOS?

    Asbestos is a natural material that was once commonly used in building materials because of its strength and fire-resistant properties. Most commonly used in many places like roofs, walls, and floors. However, we now know that asbestos poses significant health risks when its fibres are released into the air.

    If you breathe in asbestos fibres, it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and other respiratory issues. That’s why it’s crucial to get professionals like us to remove it safely. We have the right tools and knowledge to handle asbestos without putting you or your family at risk.

    TYPES OF ASBESTOS

    Identifying asbestos correctly before any renovation or demolition work begins is crucial. Different types of asbestos-containing materials require specific handling during asbestos removal work. Here are two main types of asbestos you might find in buildings:

    FRIABLE ASBESTOS

    This type of asbestos is soft and can be easily crumbled by hand, making it the most dangerous because it can quickly release fibres into the air. You might find friable asbestos in old pipe insulation or sprayed-on fire retardants, or fire-damaged homes.

    NON-FRIABLE ASBESTOS

    Also called ‘bonded’ asbestos, this type is mixed with other materials like cement and is less likely to release fibres unless it’s damaged or worn. Non-friable asbestos is often found in things like roof sheets, walls and ceilings.

    Understanding these different types helps us plan your property’s safest and most effective asbestos removal strategy.

    COMMON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

    Asbestos can be found in many places in older buildings. Here are some common spots:

    • Roof tiles and guttering

    • Wall cladding
    • Insulation around pipes and in roof spaces

    • Floor tiles
    • Textured ceilings (like Artex)

    • Old electrical boards

    If your building was built or renovated before 2000, it might contain asbestos. But don’t worry—if it’s in good condition and left alone, it’s usually not a problem. When you want to remove it, or it gets damaged, you need to call in experts like us.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ASBESTOS REMOVAL

    Here are some common questions we get about asbestos removal:

    If your house was built before 2000, it might have asbestos. But don’t worry – we can do a proper check for you.
    Asbestos is only dangerous when it’s disturbed and its fibres get into the air. If it’s in good condition and left alone, it’s usually not a problem.
    It depends on how much there is and where it’s located. A small job might take a day, while a bigger job could take a week or more.
    For safety reasons, we usually recommend that you’re not in the house while we’re working. We’ll let you know how long you’ll need to be out.
    We’ll do a thorough clean-up and final check to make sure all asbestos is gone. Then we’ll give you the all-clear to return.

    Remember, if you have any other questions, just give us a call. We’re always happy to help.
