When would you need to call Eagle Asbestos?
Whether you’re carrying out light decorating works or planning a full property renovation, it’s essential to know if asbestos is present in your home. You may also want to have specific areas tested on a property you’re looking to purchase, to ensure your potential new home is safe. Eagle Asbestos is highly recommended by estate agents and property management companies across Bristol and Bath.
Where might asbestos be found in your home?
Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials, particularly within the construction industry. While there are only a limited number of common locations where asbestos may be present in a residential property, care should always be taken when carrying out work on homes built before the year 2000.
Typical areas where asbestos may be found include:
Artex (textured coating): often applied to walls and ceilings.
Asbestos floor tiles.
Asbestos water tanks.
Loft insulation.
Asbestos cement products: commonly found externally, such as garage or shed roof sheets, guttering, downpipes, and soffits.
If you’re unsure about any materials in your home, contact Eagle Asbestos. Our fast response times and professional service will give you peace of mind.
OUR ASBESTOS SERVICES.
Waste Collections and Demolition with depots in Bristol, Bath and Swindon.
Eagle Asbestos also provides a reliable waste collection and disposal service. Many of our commercial clients have the correct training and equipment to remove certain non-licensed asbestos materials but do not hold the required carrier’s licence to transport or dispose of hazardous waste.
This is where the Eagle Asbestos team can help. We safely collect asbestos waste from site and ensure it is disposed of correctly, in full compliance with regulations. All customers are issued with waste disposal notes for complete peace of mind.
We also undertake light demolition and soft strip works for domestic properties. From dismantling and removing a garage or shed to free up valuable garden space, to supporting major renovation projects, our team handles the heavy, labour-intensive work. We’ll prepare your property for tradespeople and manage the safe disposal of any waste so you don’t have to.

The health risks of asbestos
When asbestos is disturbed or damaged, harmful fibres are released into the air and can be inhaled. These fibres pose serious health risks, but symptoms often take many years to develop, which is why protecting yourself from exposure is so important.
Asbestos exposure can lead to life-threatening conditions such as cancer, lung scarring, and thickening of the lung lining. The digestive system can also be affected. While these diseases are most commonly linked to prolonged exposure, it is always best to avoid contact with asbestos wherever possible.
