Get In Touch
We are a professional commercial asbestos removal company that service Durham and the North East.
Asbestos can be found in many areas of commercial properties, as it wasn't fully banned from use in the UK until the year 2000. If your property in Durham was built before the Millennium then you should assume that asbestos is present within it.
What are the common places in a property that we find asbestos when removing it?
Examples of where you could find asbestos in your property include -
Ceiling and floor tiles
Artex - which was used as a decorative wall covering
Pipe and boiler lagging
Guttering and downpipes
Loose fill insulation
Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
The above are just a few examples highlighting how widely used asbestos was in construction. The HSE has a guide describing the most common materials that may contain asbestos which you may find useful, however we strongly advise that you contact us if you think you have asbestos in your property because our professionals can quickly identify whether it is asbestos and provide the best course of action for the asbestos to be safely removed.
