Asbestos FAQs
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Asbestos was only fully banned from use in 1999, so if your property was built or refurbished before then, there is a possibility that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) could be present. Any work using imported materials or refurbishments after 1999 could also contain ACMs.
What happens during an asbestos survey?
We will inspect and sample suspect materials. The samples are then analysed to confirm the presence of asbestos. The location, condition and extent of all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) and suspected asbestos containing materials identified during the asbestos survey are recorded in the form of an Asbestos Register.
What should I do if asbestos is found?
If asbestos is found on your premises, we can provide you with tailored guidance on the next steps to take. Contact us today for more information.
