What is Asbestos?
Between the mid 1960’s to the year 2000, Asbestos was a commonly used product widely used throughout the construction and building industry. Properties built within this time period will be likely to contain asbestos or ACM’s (Asbestos Containing Materials).
To avoid accidental disturbance, and potential harm to health during any refurbishment work or general day to day occupation, we would recommend instructing an asbestos surveyor to carry out a full inspection, this will locate any suspect materials and allow them to be safely sampled for analysis in the laboratory.
Asbestos was used extensively throughout Southampton and the surrounding areas in both domestic and commercial builds. The range of products that can contain asbestos is extensive and many can be found within homes and businesses in and around Hampshire.
Used in over 3000 products and materials you may be surprised to discover that it can be found in items as diverse as: floor tiles and lino, artex, partitions walls and boxing panelling to pipework as well as insulation products around any heat source such as boilers, fireplaces and pipework. If you own a property built within this period, we would recommend an asbestos survey in Southampton for full piece of mind.
When do you need an asbestos survey in Southampton?
If you own a property built before the year 2000 it is likely to contain some asbestos containing materials. An Asbestos Survey in Southampton will allow a full inspection and determine if there are any suspect materials within the property. If you are thinking of selling or renting your property an asbestos survey can also be useful to allow the process of conveyancing or securing a tenant to run smoothly, many lenders are now asking for an asbestos survey as part of the lending process.
