Asbestos Removal Dorset
​
Asbestos, once commonly used for its durability and heat-resistant qualities in homes and buildings, is now recognised as a significant health threat to people. Removing asbestos and any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from properties should be a priority to protect the health and safety of people from asbestos fibres wherever they’re found.
​
With our decades of knowledge and experience, Westfield Group UK offers professional asbestos removal and asbestos disposal for all domestic and commercial properties. With expertise in all areas of ACMs, our services for asbestos removal across Dorset means we can safeguard your property, the environment, and your health and well-being while complying with the highest standards and regulations.
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre that was once widely used in various industries, including building and construction, for its versatility and insulating properties. It’s usually found in building materials for property essentials such as insulation, soffit boards, roofing sheets, floor tiles, and cement. Despite its widespread use, asbestos poses significant health risks when its fibres are inhaled after becoming airborne.
​
With no taste or smell to identify them, inhaling asbestos microfibres can lead to serious health conditions and asbestos-related diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, after prolonged exposure to fibrous asbestos. These diseases highlight the severe dangers associated with asbestos materials, underlining the importance of a professional asbestos management service with a compliant removal process to mitigate risks to human health.
​
Why asbestos removal is important
​
Once the dangers of asbestos and public health became more widely known, ACMs were banned from wholesale use in 1999. Unfortunately, there are ACMs inside many properties that were built or renovated prior to the year 2000. This fact means that removing asbestos is vital to providing a safe and risk-free home or working environment.
​
For homes and businesses, choosing the professionals to remove asbestos in Dorset guarantees the safe and efficient removal of all hazardous material. This process ensures a prompt, thorough, and proactive response, essential to minimising the risk of long-term health complications for individuals, occupants, and communities.
