Where could I find asbestos in my property in Sunderland?
Asbestos can be found in many different areas around a building and landlords should presume it exists in the property if it was constructed before the year 2000, when asbestos was fully banned from use in the UK.
Items that contain asbestos are known as 'asbestos containing materials' (ACMs) and examples of where they can be located around commercial properties include -
Asbestos insulating board (AIB) around boilers
Lagging on pipes and boilers
Guttering and downpipes
Textiles, such as fire blankets
Sprayed on coatings that can be found on ceilings, walls and beams
The above are just a few examples of where asbestos can be found within a property (here is a more detailed list and here is a visual guide). If you suspect you have asbestos within your property then please don't hesitate to get in touch with us through the contact form on this page or via email at enq@blsasbestos.co.uk and we will provide more guidance on what the next steps are to remove it.
