Asbestos was a commonly used product in the building industry throughout Portsmouth and Southsea from the late 1960's through to the year 2000. Houses and commercial properties within these dates are likely to contain ACM's (asbestos containing materials), a specialist survey will locate these enabling decisions to be made to their ongoing management or removal.
Throughout Portsmouth & Southsea, asbestos was used extensively in both commercial and domestic builds. Used in over 3000 products and materials, fibres are often contained in domestic floor tiles and floor coverings, artex and decorative coatings, boxing panels and partitions as well as insulation products, glues and mastics.
When do you require an asbestos survey in Portsmouth?
Properties built before the year 2000 are likely to contain asbestos. An asbestos survey in Portsmouth can determine the extent of any asbestos-containing materials within your home. It is essential prior to commencing any refurbishments or building works on your home. An inspection is also helpful when selling or renting out the property as many homebuyer reports will now assume asbestos may be present if a survey is not in place.
