Where am I likely to find asbestos in my Oldham property?
Even though asbestos hasn't been used legally in the UK since the year 2000, it is possible that if your property was built or renovated before then, it could be present and a potential safety risk.
If you are unsure whether you have asbestos on your property then it always best to speak to a professional, who can carry out a safe and secure asbestos survey to clarify if there are any asbestos containing materials on your property.
Examples of some products that are asbestos containing materials include -
Asbestos cloth, rope and string
Asbestos cement sheets and roof tiles
Wallboards
Ceiling tiles
Floor tiles
Mastics and sealants
Toilet cisterns
Artex (a decorative plaster which can look like this)
Asbestos can be found in many places. We created an in-depth guide about asbestos and common areas where it can be found but in addition to this, the HSE have created a visual guide, which some people may find easier to use.
Ultimately, if you think you may have asbestos on your property in Oldham then please get in touch with us and we can provide some expert advice and quote for an asbestos survey if required.
