Why would asbestos be in my property?

Asbestos was consistently in the UK construction industry over decades because of its insulating and heat resistant properties. However it was found that long term exposure to asbestos fibres causes asbestosis and so it was fully banned from use in 1999.

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

When we carry out asbestos surveys we find asbestos in all manner of places, although some of the more common areas we see it are -

• Loose fill insulation
• Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
• Sprayed on coatings
• Guttering and down pipes
• Chimney flues
• Partition boards
• Panels in doors and window frames
• Lagging on boilers and pipes
• Floor and roof tiles

This isn't a comprehensive list but shows just how varied asbestos can be across a property. The HSE has a visual that helps to display this more effectively.
