Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is asbestos and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos was widely used in Glasgow’s older buildings, especially in insulation, ceiling tiles, and pipe lagging. When disturbed, asbestos fibers become airborne and can cause severe lung diseases, including mesothelioma and asbestosis. Safe removal by licensed professionals is essential to prevent health risks.
How do I know if my Glasgow property has asbestos?
If your home or business was built before 1999, there’s a chance asbestos is present. Common asbestos materials in Glasgow properties include Artex ceilings, garage roofs, pipe insulation, and floor tiles. We recommend an asbestos survey to confirm its presence.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Glasgow?
The cost depends on the amount and type of asbestos, as well as accessibility. A small asbestos removal may cost a few hundred pounds, while larger projects (e.g., full property remediation) will vary. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your property.
Do I need permission from Glasgow City Council for asbestos removal?
In most cases, you don’t need special permission for asbestos removal in a private property. However, if you’re working on a listed building or commercial premises, you may need to inform the council. We handle all necessary notifications and compliance with HSE regulations.
What are the common asbestos hotspots in Glasgow buildings?
Many older tenement flats, schools, and commercial buildings in Glasgow still contain asbestos. Typical locations include roof sheets, boiler insulation, soffits, and wall panels. We specialise in removing asbestos from all property types safely.
How soon can you remove asbestos in Glasgow?
We offer fast response times and can usually arrange an asbestos survey or removal within a few days. Emergency asbestos removal services are available for urgent cases. Contact us for availability.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
No, DIY asbestos removal is extremely dangerous and illegal for certain types of asbestos. Disturbing asbestos without proper containment can put you and others at risk. Always hire a licensed contractor like Strada Environmental for safe and compliant removal.
