The Key Asbestos team recently completed a project just off New Malden High Street. The job involved the safe removal of asbestos floor tiles, followed by the encapsulation of the underlying asbestos-containing bitumen using ET150.
By the 1970s we were beginning to outgrow our 1930s semi-detached properties and many people were building double height extension with integrated garage.
Key Asbestos received a call from a client requesting an urgent Asbestos Survey in Guildford due to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) arriving on their site and stopping works.
When asked to carry out an Asbestos survey on a 1960s flat in a purpose built block in East Molesey, Teddington or Ham as an Asbestos Surveyor you know with a degree of certainty that you will unearth several asbestos containing materials.
We have carried out Asbestos surveys of shops in Kingston and Wimbledon and Surrey that have identified asbestos materials including Asbestos spray coatings to beams above the ceiling of shops, asbestos pipe lagging and asbestos insulation board ceiling tiles.
Asbestos in the home comes in many forms and is used for its heat resistance tensile strength and as a bonding agent in materials from asbestos insulation board lining to asbestos floor tiles and asbestos pipe lagging.
Used extensively in schools throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s and into the 1980s asbestos is a carcinogen still present in schools throughout Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire.
Mass use of asbestos predates the 1960s as can be seen with millions of asbestos garages roofs and industrial and farm buildings of asbestos construction throughout Britain going back close to 100 years.
