Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre that was commonly used in construction materials due to its strength and heat resistance. However, it is now known to be highly hazardous to human health when its fibres are released into the air and inhaled.
When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, microscopic fibres can become airborne. Inhaling these fibres over time can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
If you have a property built before the late 1980s, it is possible that asbestos-containing materials were used in its construction. If you are planning any renovation or demolition work that may disturb asbestos-containing materials, it is essential to have them safely removed by a licensed asbestos removal professional.
It is highly recommended to hire a licensed asbestos removal professional for any asbestos removal work. Handling asbestos requires specialised knowledge, equipment, and safety protocols to ensure proper containment and disposal. DIY asbestos removal can pose significant health risks.
The cost of asbestos removal depends on various factors, such as the size of the area, the extent of asbestos contamination, the accessibility of the materials, and the location. It is best to contact licensed asbestos removal companies, like Reconomy, for a thorough inspection and a detailed cost estimate. Contact Reconomy today for a personalised quote.
The duration of asbestos removal depends on the scope of work and the complexity of the project. Small-scale housebuilding removals may take a few days, while larger construction projects can take several weeks. The priority is to ensure that the removal is done safely and thoroughly.
Licensed asbestos removal professionals, such as Reconomy, follow strict safety protocols to minimise the risk of asbestos exposure.

Once the asbestos-containing materials are removed, they are sealed in air-tight containers and transported to designated disposal facilities. These facilities are specially equipped to handle and dispose of asbestos waste safely and in compliance with local regulations.
