Is it likely that my property in Birmingham is likely to have asbestos in and around it?
Asbestos was used for decades the UK due to its insulating properties, as well as being resistant to heat. However due to its relationship with long term lung diseases it was fully banned from use in the UK in 1999, so if you're property was built or renovated before the year 2000 then you should assume that it could contain asbestos containing materials, unless you know otherwise because you have had an asbestos survey carried out.
Some common examples of where we find asbestos when carrying out an asbestos survey on industrial properties, includes -
Lagging, which is used as insulation on pipes
Guttering and downpipes, as well as chimney flues
Floor and roof tiles
Sprayed on coating on beams, ceilings and walls
Asbestos cement sheets
Artex, which is a textured coating that was used in decorating
Asbestos panels in fire doors
Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
Loose fill insulation
We have a page of wider examples where asbestos can be found and the HSE also has a visual which may be of help.
