Is my property in Southwell likely to contain asbestos?

If your property was built or renovated before the year 2000 then according the HSE you should assume that it could contain asbestos. This is because asbestos wasn't completely outlawed for use in the UK until 1999.

Asbestos became illegal for use in the UK due to its association with mesothelioma, asbestosis, pleural thickening and asbestos related lung cancer (the HSE has more information about these diseases). It should be noted that should asbestos remain undisturbed then it poses little risk, however for peace of mind, most businesses and property owners choose to have it removed.

Some common examples of where we come across asbestos containing materials when carrying out an asbestos survey, includes -

• Asbestos cement, which can be found on chimney flues, guttering, downpipes and panels.
• Lagging, which was commonly used as insulation on boilers and pipes.
• Loose fill insulation.
• Asbestos insulation board (AIB), commonly used on partition walls, ceiling tiles and as panels in fire doors.
• Asbestos tiles on ceilings and floors.
• Artex, which is a decorative wall covering.
• Sprayed on coatings.
