What types of places do we commonly come across asbestos?
Asbestos was used in the construction sector in the UK for decades.
Its heat and fire resistant properties meant that it was widely used across properties, in areas such as -
Ceiling tiles
Floor tiles
Asbestos cement sheets
Lagging on pipes and boilers
Panels in fire doors and window frames
Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
Sprayed on wall coatings
Decorative coatings like Artex
Cladding
Asbestos cement for guttering and chimneys
The above list isn't all encompassing but does show how widely asbestos was used. The HSE has a visual that shows how widely asbestos was used in industrial properties.
Asbestos was not banned in the UK until 1999, so you should assume that your property could contain asbestos if it was built or renovated before the year 2000.
