How likely is it that asbestos is in my property?

Asbestos wasn't fully banned from use in the UK until 1999.

This means that if your property was renovated or constructed before the year 2000 then it could house asbestos containing materials.

The best way to find out if your property contains asbestos is to have an asbestos survey carried out, which is something we at BLS Asbestos Ltd can do for you.

Some of the areas in a property where we regularly come across asbestos when carrying out an asbestos survey includes -

• Lagging, which is used as insulation on pipes
• Guttering and downpipes
• Floor and roof tiles
• Panels in fire doors
• Window frames
• Sprayed on coating on beams, ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement sheets
• Artex, which is a textured coating that was used in decorating

For the untrained it can sometimes be difficult to know what asbestos looks like, which is why it is always recommended to get in touch with an asbestos removal company like ourselves, who can quickly and easily determine if asbestos containing materials are in your property.

The HSE has an image gallery of asbestos in situ, however due to the dangers asbestos can pose when it is disturbed, we highly recommend you get in touch with a professional company like ourselves to help determine what type of asbestos is in or around your property.
