Balerno

Balerno is a suburban area of Edinburgh, Scotland positioned 8 miles (13 kilometres) south-west of the city centre, next to Currie and after that Juniper Green. Administratively, Balerno falls within the territory of the City of Edinburgh Council. Its name derives from the Scottish Gaelic Baile Àirneach, suggesting "townland/town of the hawthorns". The earliest composed documents of Balhernoch or Balernach are located in the late 13th century. The 18th Century brought significant growth to the area, with numerous brand-new flax, snuff and paper mills emerging around the Water of Leith and also its tributary, the Bavelaw Burn (evidence of flax manufacturing can be seen in Harlaw Woods). The biggest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill situated near the centre of the old town enclosed the early 1980s. After the First World War home building began in earnest in the location and also since then property pressures have practically overloaded industrial as well as commercial ones. There was a short loop train running over what is currently the Water of Leith Walkway.

    how to dispose of asbestos?

    How To Dispose Of Asbestos?

    As a homeowner, you certainly wouldn’t like to the word “asbestos” and understandably so. Due to its extremely dangerous fibres, the material was banned in the UK since 1999 and any structure built with it will be heavily fined. However, if you’re presently doing some home improvement project or buying a property that was built before the year 2000, then a chance exists that the property could contain asbestos. So if you’re unlucky to discover asbestos in your property, getting rid of it can be quite simple if you know way around it. In this article, we’ll provide you with some tips on how to dispose of asbestos in your property. Let’s take a closer look!

    ✓ Careful Handling

    If you happen to find asbestos in your property the best thing to do is to call in a reliable specialist who has the proper training and equipment to tackle the project. However, if you decide to handle it yourself, then it’s a must to do this with great care. For instance wearing safety gloves, dust mask, safety goggles and placement of asbestos into plastic bags would be a great idea.

    ✓ Take It To The Tip By Yourself

    To save some money if you have access to a vehicle, then loading the bagged asbestos into your car and driving it to the nearest local tip would be a simple and cost effective alternative. However, you should check with your local authorities before attempting this.

    ✓ Use A Specialist

    Hiring a professional asbestos removal contractor is simply the best way to dispose of asbestos. Their services may be a bit expensive, but they cover up for that in both speed and effectiveness.

    ✓ Use Your Council’s Asbestos Collection Service

    Several councils off this services at a reduced cost. However, they are usually not as quick as a specialist contractor.

    how much does it cost to remove asbestos?

    If you’re thinking about having your asbestos removed, you have two options - either you take on the project yourself or you call in a reliable professional for help. If you do not have enough time on your plate or perhaps you’re not confident enough to carry out this project on your own, then you’d have to reach out to an expert and of course, it comes with a cost.

    The cost of removing asbestos is, however, not fixed as it depends on many factors. These factors works to decrease or increase the cost of removing asbestos. The factors include the type of asbestos material that needs to be removed, if the material can be encapsulated rather than removed, if the material has been sampled and tested, the location where the works would be carried out, size of the area, the accessibility of the asbestos, if other sites users or neighbours will be affected as well as the type of the building be it residential, commercial, industrial.

    With a plethora of important things to put into consideration, it’s therefore essential to call in a qualified, competent and professional asbestos removal company to provide a reasonable quote for your unique project. Generally, in the UK, you can expect to pay the approximate cost of around £1000 or less for smaller areas. However, for larger areas the cost of removing such an asbestos will cost you considerably more. The cost can be within the range of £2500 and above in the UK.

    These prices may seem high at first but its definitely worth it when you look at it’s possible effect on the health of you and your loved ones.

    Should asbestos be removed?

    If you find out there’s asbestos in your property, it’s not always necessary to remove it. Asbestos is relatively low-risk if it’s contained in a material. This means that, if the material it’s in is in good condition, it shouldn’t be a problem.

    However, if a material containing asbestos is damaged, or you want to remove, sand or drill into it, it’s best to have it removed by a licensed professional.

    what does asbestos cause?

    What Does Asbestos Cause?

    The perfect example of a silent killer is asbestos. Wonder why? From the day of exposure, you might not see any symptoms of the asbestos containing material disease till years later and more often than not, these disease are not treatable. And as dangerous at it is, it’s most likely not something you’d think about on a daily basis unless you’ve been affected by this harmful material or probably someone you know has.

    Found in rocks and soils, asbestos have been an important material for manufacturers across the globe for numerous reasons. Not only are they exceptional insulation materials in both electrical and buildings, but they’re also flexible and resistant to heat, chemicals as well as electricity. And due to this fact, they represent a very common material that’s used in automotive parts, construction materials as well as textiles.

    Asbestos when disturbed and inhaled for a long period of time can significantly increase your risk for diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma as well as asbestosis. Smokers are more likely feel a greater impact as cigarette smoke irritates lung passages which makes it a lot more difficult for the lungs to remove asbestos fibres.

    Mesothelioma. This is a form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs as well as the lining surrounding the lower digestive tract. By the time diagnosed, it’s almost always fatal.

    Lung Cancer. This asbestos related lung cancer is almost the same with that caused by smoking and other causes.

    Abestosis. This is a serious scarring condition of the lung which usually occurs after exposure to asbestos after a lengthy period. It can lead to shortness of breath, and in some cases, can be fatal.
