Remove asbestos corrugated sheets

Asbestos corrugated sheets were widely used in the construction of sheds, sheds, outbuildings, garages, garden houses and animal cages as roofing. These plates are made of asbestos cement and contain asbestos fibers that can be released if the plates are damaged or aged. These fibers can pose a health hazard to anyone nearby.

These applications belong to bonded asbestos and were used until 1998. Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are approximately 5 mm thick and can be light gray, black or red in color.

If you want to remove asbestos corrugated sheets, you should always engage a certified asbestos removal company. This is because removing asbestos corrugated sheets can be very dangerous without the proper equipment and precautions.

Once the craftsmen arrive on site, the work area is demarcated to create a controlled environment. They wear protective clothing and breathing apparatus to protect themselves from asbestos fibers. Thereafter they carefully dismantle the corrugated sheets without breaking them to bring them down so that no fibers are released into the air. The craftsmen will then pack the corrugated sheets in thick plastic bags before taking them to a landfill specifically designed for asbestos waste.

After the removal of the asbestos corrugated sheets, it is important to have the area inspected for any asbestos fibers that may be left behind. If asbestos fibers are found, they must be safely removed before any further work is carried out or the building is occupied or used.

If you suspect that there is corrugated asbestos on your roof, it is important to hire a skilled and experienced contractor to properly remove it safely.
