Worried about asbestos? Give us a call!
Whilst asbestos hasn’t been used in housing projects since the end of the 20th century, it remains in thousands of houses across the UK. Whilst it isn’t a health risk if it's intact and left alone, it is known to cause serious health issues if it has been damaged and fibres released. If you have any worries about asbestos in your home speak to the team at First Choice Maintenance Services.
We provide a dedicated asbestos removal service. Our team will attend your property at a time that suits you, assess the condition and prevalence of asbestos in your home, then recommend the ideal solution going forwards.
No matter your needs, you can trust us to provide a professional, prompt and environmentally responsible service. We can also support businesses with their asbestos concerns.
Where can I find asbestos?
Before the material was banned, it was common to find asbestos in:
​
✔ Cement
✔ Tiles
✔ Loft insulation
✔ Insulating boards
✔ Some coatings such as Artex
✔ Partitions
✔ Cladding
Will my home have asbestos?
Brown and blue asbestos was banned in 1995, and white asbestos was banned in 1999. If your home was built after this, it is very unlikely to have any asbestos in it. If your house is older there is a chance that asbestos is present, though it may have been removed previously. If you are unsure, our team will be more than happy to help.
Responsible disposal of asbestos
It is essential that asbestos removal is only carried out by qualified and experienced specialists. First Choice Maintenance Services will ensure that – where removal is required – any asbestos is safety disposed of in the correct manner. We hold qualifications in Asbestos Awareness, and keep up to date with the latest handling and disposal regulations.
