Rapid Response Mercury Spillage Cleaning
We offer thorough mercury spillage cleaning services for customers in the Thanet District of Kent.
We are on hand for all businesses and customers in the Kent area
Mercury is a dangerous element and a common occurrence in our lives. Forms of mercury are present at low levels in our food and some household objects. Because of these low exposure levels, we can live our lives without worrying about mercury spillage.
However, if you work in an environment where mercury is at risk of being spilt, like a factory or science lab, you are faced with potential exposure. In the event of a spill, it is imperative that you contact our specialist cleaners, who are qualified to tackle a mercury spillage swiftly and thoroughly.
If you would like to speak to us regarding a spill, please contact us by calling 0208 066 0360 or emailing us at enquiries@icecleaning.co.uk.

What products contain mercury?
UK laws and regulations have become stricter since the 1990s, and there is currently an effort to phase out the use of mercury in everyday products. Some of these products may slip through the cracks and continue to be displayed in charity shops, boots fairs, or vintage emporiums.
You should follow your local councils' disposal advice regarding mercury if you discover any of the following items in your home or shop:
- Dental amalgams
- Electric switches
- Glass thermometers and barometers
- Skin-lightening cosmetics
- Fluorescent light bulbs
- Backlights
What are the risks of mercury exposure?
Mercury is present in various ways during our lives, through either fish and poultry, dental fillings, or disinfectants. The level of exposure is what should be the biggest concern — high levels of mercury will pose the most risk to your physical health. You may experience symptoms of:
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Chest pain
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
- Organ damage
- Nervous system damage
Some are more vulnerable to the effects of mercury. These people and pets should be prioritised in evacuation, especially those who are:
- Pregnant
- Immunocompromised
- Young children
- Elderly

How to prevent a mercury spill
If you work or live in an area where you know there may be a risk of high mercury exposure, you should begin to take steps to prevent spillage in the future.
If you live on a domestic property
Whether you live in an apartment or house, there is a chance that you could have products in your home that contain mercury. Ensure these products are out of reach of pets or children to minimise the possibility of exposure.
Walk around your home and assess the products that may contain mercury. You should then read your local councils' waste disposal procedures and follow hazardous or chemical waste guidelines.
If you work in an environment with mercury
Teachers, professors, or those who work in factories might be exposed to small levels of mercury daily. However, there may be places of work that store mercury — therefore, you are at risk of being present during a spillage.
You should ensure your workplace has had its most recent chemical spill risk assessment. This will help minimise accidents and ensure that all procedures are enforced.
A mercury spill kit should be on-site, and there may be a qualified individual to help contain a spill until help arrives. However, these persons should not attempt to clean the spill by themselves. Make a plan of action in the event of a spill which will assign roles, give instructions, and have an evacuation plan ready to go.
