Many homes, garages, industrial units and commercial buildings across the North East were constructed before asbestos regulations changed in the late 1990s. As a result, asbestos-containing materials can still be found in roofing sheets, wall cladding, gutters, pipe insulation and other building components.
While asbestos is often harmless when left undisturbed, it becomes a serious health risk when damaged, drilled, cut or broken. Disturbing asbestos can release microscopic fibres into the air, which can then be inhaled and cause long-term respiratory illnesses. Which is why asbestos removal in the North East should always be carried out by trained professionals who understand how to handle and dispose of the material safely.
Common Signs That Asbestos May Be Present
Property owners are often unaware that asbestos may be present within their buildings. White asbestos, also known as chrysotile asbestos, was widely used throughout the construction industry and can often be found in bonded roof and wall cladding. If materials appear aged, brittle, powdery or are beginning to flake, there is a possibility they could contain asbestos.
However, asbestos cannot always be identified by appearance alone. Attempting to remove suspected asbestos yourself can increase the risk of exposure and contamination. If you suspect asbestos is present, it is important to seek professional advice and arrange for a professional assessment from our experienced team here at Ross Wright before carrying out any renovation, demolition or repair work.
