Where can asbestos containing materials be found in my industrial or commercial property?
Asbestos was used widely in the construction industry for decades. Examples of where we commonly find it when carrying out an asbestos survey include -
Lagging on boilers and water pipes
Guttering, downpipes and chimney flues made from asbestos cement
Floor tiles
Internal roof tiles
Asbestos panels in fire doors
Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
Loose fill insulation
Asbestos was used widely because of its excellent insulation properties, as well as its high melting point. However, it was fully banned from use in the UK in 1999 due to its connection with long term lung diseases.
The HSE has a great guide showing a lot of the common areas you may find asbestos in your property.

We are fully qualified to work on licensable asbestos removal
Working with licensable asbestos is the most dangerous type of asbestos removal and can only be carried out by licensed asbestos removal contractors like ourselves. The HSE has more information on this, however broadly speaking licensable asbestos removal work is -
Where worker exposure to asbestos is not sporadic and of low intensity; or
Where the risk assessment cannot clearly demonstrate that the control limit will not be exceeded ie 0.1 asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air (0.1 f/cm3) (averaged over a four hour period); or
On asbestos coating; or
On asbestos insulation or asbestos insulating board where the risk assessment demonstrates that the work is not short duration work, eg when work with these materials will take no more than two hours in any seven day period, and no one person works for more than one hour in that two hour period.
