Why would my industrial property contain asbestos?

Asbestos is heat resistant and insulating, which is why it was used in the construction sector in the UK for decades. It was banned from use in 1999 due to it causing long term lung diseases when breathed in. 

This means that if your property was built or renovated before the year 2000 then you should assume that it could contain asbestos.

Asbestos containing materials can be found all over an industrial property, and we pick the locations of asbestos up when we carry out an asbestos survey, however some of the most common places we come across it includes - 

• Loose fill insulation
• Floor and ceiling tiles
• Asbestos cement, usually on the outside of properties
• Panels in fire doors and window frames
• Partition walls, which may be made of asbestos insulation board

The above are only a handful of examples, the HSE has a page which is far more in depth, however if you are unsure, we would always recommend that you get in contact with an asbestos removal company like ourselves and our team will confirm if you have abestos in your property and if so, we will create and execute a plan for its safe removal.
