Why Safe Asbestos Removal Matters
Asbestos can be dangerous if not handled properly. Exposure to asbestos fibres can lead to serious health issues like mesothelioma and lung cancer. That’s why hiring licensed professionals who follow strict safety protocols is essential. At South Coast Demolition, we make asbestos removal simple, safe, and stress-free.
Types of Asbestos Materials We Remove
Asbestos can be found in lots of building materials used in homes and businesses. Here are some of the most common ones we remove:
Roofing Sheets & Cladding
From small shops to large office buildings, older buildings can contain asbestos
Fencing
Common in garden fences and boundary walls.
Flooring
Includes vinyl tiles, adhesives, and sheet vinyl backing.
Walls & Ceilings
Internal linings made from asbestos sheeting or tiles.
Insulation
Used in roof insulation, pipes, boilers, ducts, and sprayed coatings.
Friable vs Non-Friable Asbestos – What’s the Difference?
Non-Friable Asbestos
Non-friable asbestos, or bonded asbestos, is more stable because the fibres are tightly bound in materials like cement sheets, vinyl tiles, and roofing. While less risky when intact, damaged or weathered non-friable asbestos can release fibres and become hazardous. Our team specialises in non-friable asbestos removal, ensuring it’s handled safely and disposed of responsibly.
Friable Asbestos
Friable asbestos crumbles easily and releases harmful fibres into the air, making it highly dangerous. It’s often found in pipe lagging, sprayed insulation, and thermal coatings. Due to the risks involved, friable asbestos removal must be carried out only by Class A-licensed professionals, using strict safety protocols.
Signs Your Property May Contain Asbestos
If your home or business was built before 1990,
it likely contains asbestos. Here are some signs to look out for:
Age of the Building
Most homes built before the 1990s contain asbestos in roofing, insulation, or flooring.
Roofing and Cladding
Asbestos is often used in corrugated roofing sheets and exterior cladding.
Vinyl Flooring
Some vinyl tiles have asbestos in their backing.
Textured Ceilings
Older ceilings may contain asbestos in textured coatings.
If you suspect asbestos, don’t disturb the area.
