Do all properties have asbestos in them?
In short, no. Asbestos has excellent heat resistance and insulating properties, which is why it was used in the UK construction sector for decades. However, its link with long term lung diseases meant that it was fully banned from use in 1999. This means if your property was constructed or renovated before the year 2000 then you should assume that it could contain asbestos.
It should be noted that if asbestos is left undisturbed then it is unlikely to pose any kind of threat, however some property owners like to have an asbestos survey carried out for the peace of mind of knowing that no asbestos containing materials are on their property, which eliminates any risk to the landlord or property manager. If the survey does show that asbestos is present in the property, then we can create and execute a plan for its removal.
Asbestos can be found widely across industrial an commercial properties, as this graphic shows. We always recommend getting in contact with an asbestos removal company like BLS Asbestos Ltd, who have a team of specialists that can quickly identify whether asbestos is located on the property.
