STOP AND THINK ASBESTOS

If a property has been built or refurbished before the year 2000, asbestos could be present in places you might not expect. Asbestos related diseases currently kill around 4,500 people a year in the UK.  It is a legal requirement prior to any refurbishment or demolition work taking place, that an asbestos survey is carried out. The importance of appointing an accredited, highly experienced contractor is vital.

Asbestos is a group of minerals that occur naturally as bundles of fibres. There are 3 main types of asbestos Chrysotile, Amosite and Crocidolite, all types of asbestos have been linked with cancer. Asbestos acts as an insulator, has good fire protection properties and protects against corrosion. Because of this, it was extensively used from 1950s through to mid-1980s but can be found in buildings built before the year 2000.

When materials containing asbestos are disturbed they release fibres into the air that are not visible to the naked eye, when inhaling they can cause serious diseases. Side affects can often take a long time to develop, but once diagnosed, it is often too late to do anything. Asbestos can cause fatal and serious diseases such as Mesothelioma, Asbestos-related lung cancer, Asbestosis and Pleural thickening.

Asbestos is not visible to the naked eye. In order to 100% determine if asbestos is present material samples need to be lab tested using a form of transmission electron microscopy to reveal and identify what is present within a sample.

Asbestos can be found in many building products, examples include Sprayed Coatings on ceilings, walls, beams and columns, lagging on boilers and pipes, ceiling tiles, partition walls, cladding, insulating panels, roof, partition walls, gutters and down pipes.
