What is a HEPA Filter Vacuum Cleaner?

It is a requirement when removing asbestos that the vacuum used has a HEPA filter. These vacuums are also commonly referred to as ‘H-Class’ vacuum cleaners. 

It may come as a surprise, but the clean up from an asbestos removal job can take just as long as the job itself on some occasions! 

It is the responsibility of North West Asbestos Solutions to ensure the site is left completely clean and free of any small particles or asbestos fibres. We do this by following various strict control measures, and the HEPA filter vacuum cleaner is a major part of this process.

Our responsibility to ensure the asbestos removal site is left 100% clear of any asbestos fibres means the site 

These vacuums cannot be found at generic stores where you might find a normal household vacuum cleaner, and generally are much more expensive than most household models.

The HEPA filter is capable of trapping extremely small, micron-sized particles which means they are highly effective at cleaning up asbestos particles.

HEPA stands for ‘High‐Efficiency Particulate Air’ - we would not be able to do our job without these amazing vacuums!
