If you suspect that your property in Nottingham may contain asbestos and you would like an asbestos survey carrying out before executing an asbestos removal project (should asbestos fibres show up in the survey), then get in touch through the form on this page.

Is it common for asbestos to be found in industrial properties?

Asbestos was used widely in the construction for a long time in the UK because of its resistance to fire, as well as having excellent insulation features.

Unless asbestos containing materials are disturbed then they don't shed their fibres into the surrounding air and are generally deemed harmless to humans. However, asbestos was banned from use in the UK in 1999 due to the ill effects on human health when asbestos fibres are breathed in (more information here), so if your property in Nottingham was constructed or renovated before the year 2000 then you should assume that it could house asbestos containing materials.

As mentioned before, unless disturbed, asbestos poses little risk to humans, however most landlords and managing agents want the asbestos to be removed by a professional asbestos removal company for peace of mind.

Gov.uk states on its asbestos regulations for commercial properties that -

If you're the landlord, tenant or managing agent of a commercial property you may be responsible for managing asbestos, unless your contract or lease says otherwise.

If you would like more information on where you might have asbestos in your property then please get in touch with us now and one of our asbestos experts will get back to you as soon as possible.

What qualifications are required to remove licensable asbestos in the UK? 

Due to the dangers posed with working with licensable asbestos (high intensity work in areas where there are high levels of asbestos fibres) (read more here), licenses are required to not only remove the asbestos but also to transport it.

You can view our licences to work on licensable asbestos here.
