Asbestos can be very dangerous and should be dealt with by Asbestos Removal Companies.
Asbestos was extensively used as a building material in the UK from the 1950s through to the mid-1980s. It was used for a variety of purposes and was ideal for fireproofing and insulation.
Asbestos materials in good condition are safe, unless asbestos fibres become airborne, which happens when materials are damaged:
- Damaged asbestos, or asbestos that is at risk of becoming damaged, must be safely removed
- For safe asbestos removal the area in which it is present must be sealed off.
- Large filters and fans are used to reduce the air pressure, stopping fibres from escaping.
- During asbestos removal the removed particles must then be taken from the building and disposed of.

Asbestos Garage Roof Removal
Do you have an Asbestos garage roof? Here you can find useful information about the type of Asbestos used in your garage roof, its dangers and advice on when to get your garage roof replaced.
The type of Asbestos used in domestic garage roofing is known as Chrysotile or more commonly, White Asbestos. Although White Asbestos is still classified as a hazardous material, due to very low Asbestos content it is considered to have a very low-risk potential and although we always recommend due diligence when dealing with Asbestos if your roofing panels are undamaged and undisturbed the risk to your health is minimal.
Should your Asbestos garage roof have suffered any impact damage or deterioration then a little more caution is required, avoid unnecessary exposure and take care to minimise disturbance until you can have the garage roof replaced.

What is Chrysotile?
Chrysolite, also known as white asbestos, is often used in domestic garage roofing. While white asbestos is classified as a dangerous material it has a low-risk potential because of it being low in asbestos content.
However, we recommend you remain vigilant when handling or being around white asbestos, especially if your garage roof has been damaged. If any asbestos has been exposed, then we recommend getting your garage roof replaced.
What are the dangers of an asbestos garage roof?
Asbestos in all forms is a health risk and causes the following illnesses:
• Mesothelioma: A type of cancer that impacts the lining of the lungs and lower digestive tract.
• Lung cancer: Asbestos-related lung cancer appears to be the same as lung cancer caused by smoking and similar causes.
• Asbestosis: Severe lung scarring caused by regular asbestos exposure. The lungs may be squeezed and cause shortness of breath.
• Pleural thickening: The pleural is the lining of the lungs and it can swell when exposed to the material.
Asbestos in garage roofing has lower risk factors than other types, but always exercise caution.
