Is it likely that my Barrow-in-Furness industrial property will have asbestos in it?

Asbestos is still in a lot of properties across the country, simply because it wasn't fully banned from use within the construction sector until 1999. That means if the property you manage or own was constructed before the Millennium, then it potentially has asbestos containing materials in or around it.

The HSE states - 

Presume the building contains asbestos unless you know for sure it doesn't.

We find asbestos all over older properties, however some of the more common areas we find it when conducting asbestos surveys include -

• Asbestos cement
• Loose fill insulation
• Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
• Lagging on boilers and pipes
• Cold water tanks
• Panels in fire doors
• Floor tiles
• Roof tiles

What are the health and safety requirements for removing licensable asbestos in the UK?

Licensable asbestos is the most dangerous type of asbestos to work with and remove. Because of this a license is required to work with it and another licence is required to transport the asbestos containing materials for secure disposal.

These licences have been issued to us by government bodies and can be found on this page. 

In addition, we take health and safety guidance from leading UK bodies to ensure the safety of you, your staff, the general public and our asbestos removal team. These bodies include - 

• The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
• Asbestos Removal Contractors Association
• Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme
• SafeContractor
