Removing facade slates asbestos

Facade slates or cladding of buildings used to be often made from asbestos cement panels because of their strength and weather-resistant properties. These facade slates were very popular in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, mainly because of their durability, but they are now known for their extreme danger from asbestos fibers. They are often red or black in color and consist of gray material.

Asbestos fibers in the facade slates can be released when the panels break, flake off or are damaged during repairs or renovations. Inhalation of these asbestos fibers poses a serious health risk and can lead to serious and life-threatening health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

If there are asbestos tiles or cladding on the sides of your building, it is important to take measures to have the asbestos removal carried out by a recognized asbestos removal company. These experts are trained and equipped to minimize risks and remove asbestos fibers safely and effectively.

The removal process begins with assessing the situation, setting up warning signs, establishing safety zones and equipping workers with personal protective equipment such as breathing apparatus, gloves and protective clothing. This ensures a safe and professional performance of the task.

The facade slates are then carefully and carefully spaced using special tools to ensure safe removal of the slates. The facade slates are then carefully packed in special sealing bags and transported to a recognized asbestos dump.

After removal, the area is cleaned and checked for asbestos particles or fibers to ensure that no asbestos remains in the area. In this way, the specialists ensure that the building's facade cladding is safe for the residents.

It is important to only consult a recognized and certified asbestos removal company for the removal of facade slates containing asbestos. This ensures that removal is done safely and correctly to keep the environment free from the dangers of asbestos fiber exposure.
