BLS Asbestos Ltd have been removing asbestos from commercial properties across the UK for over 20 years.
Removing asbestos is a serious concern for most businesses, as it can lead to a halt in the production line or maybe stop a renovation from going ahead as planned.

Examples of some of the sectors we operate in include -
We have a wide range of case studies, which will give you more insight into our asbestos surveying and removal experience that we can carry out for you in your Bolton property.
Where am I likely to find asbestos in my property and what does it look like?
Bolton has a history of manufacturing through its cotton mills and bleaching and dyeing works so its extremely likely that asbestos was used in renovations of the factories up until it was banned from use in the UK in the year 2000.
Asbestos was commonly used for its heat resistance capabilities until it was found to be related to some lung diseases. Examples of where you could find it in properties includes -
Asbestos cement that could be used on a water tank
Lagging, which is used as insulation on boilers and pipes
Ceiling tiles
Floor tiles
Panels found within fire doors
Downpipes and guttering on the outside of the property
Mastics and sealants
Asbestos textured coating (Artex)
Wallboards
Asbestos can be found in several forms and the Health and Safety Executive have numerous images which could help you identify if you have asbestos in your commercial property. In addition to these images, they have a graphic which highlights the most common areas asbestos can be found in both commercial and residential properties.
Although asbestos shouldn't be dangerous if it remains undisturbed, if you think you have asbestos residing within your property then you should let a professional carry out an asbestos survey to clarify whether there are asbestos containing materials in your property in Bolton.
