Asbestos Analysis & Removal

Asbestos is a material that was once commonly used in construction, but is now recognized as highly dangerous to health when released into the air. Before any renovation, demolition, or real estate transaction, it is essential to detect its presence to ensure the safety of occupants.

Our analysis service includes:

A visual inspection by a certified professional
Samples sent to an accredited laboratory
A comprehensive report identifying the presence or absence of asbestos
Personalized recommendations on management or removal

👉 This service is recommended for all buildings constructed before 1990.

🧪 Asbestos removal – Expert and safe intervention

At Global Building Services Limited, we understand how asbestos in a building can pose an invisible but very real danger. Widely used in construction between the 1960s and 1980s, this material is now banned and recognized for its toxicity. That is why its removal can only be entrusted to qualified professionals trained to the highest safety standards.

Do you own a building or house built before the 1990s? There is a strong possibility that asbestos was used as insulation. In this case, it is essential to call in a specialized team to ensure safe removal in accordance with regulations.

❓ Why remove asbestos?

Asbestos is a non-flammable, insulating fibrous silicate that was long prized in construction, spray coating, and certain road surfacing applications. However, since 1997, it has been formally banned due to its effects on health. Even in small quantities, asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses when inhaled, such as:

Asbestosis
Pleural plaques
Mesothelioma
Bronchopulmonary cancer

As the owner, you are legally responsible for removing asbestos from any building that contains it. This is essential to protect occupants, avoid litigation, and comply with the law.

🔍 How does asbestos removal work with Global Building Services Limited?

Our process consists of several specific steps, governed by strict standards:

Analysis & diagnosis

We carry out an initial diagnosis (visual inspection, sampling, laboratory analysis), including META (electron microscopy) tests to measure the concentration of asbestos fibers in the air.

If the level exceeds 5 fibers per liter, immediate action is required.

Site planning & preparation

Setting up facilities for our teams (base camp)

Dust removal from areas to be treated

Secure containment with smoke test to ensure airtightness and prevent any dispersion

Removal or treatment of contaminated materials

Depending on the situation, we use one of the following three techniques:

Direct removal of materials containing asbestos
Encapsulation (spraying a fixing agent to prevent the release of fibers during removal)
Covering with a protective coating or adhesive

Cleaning & inspection

Once the asbestos has been removed, our teams carry out a thorough cleaning (HEPA vacuuming, brushing, wet cleaning), followed by a final check to ensure that the air is purified and free of residual fibers.
