What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was commonly used in the construction industry between the 1940s and 1970s. It was used in many building materials as it was known for its insulation and fire resistance properties. This means that many of the homes and buildings that were constructed during this time may contain asbestos.

However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the dangers of asbestos exposure became more widely known. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are damaged or broken down, the fibers can become airborne and if inhaled, can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Therefore, it's important to know whether your property contains asbestos to avoid any potential health risks.

Asbestos Testing

Asbestos testing is the only way to determine whether your property contains asbestos. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we provide a comprehensive asbestos testing service that allows us to identify any ACMs that are present in your property. Our team of trained professionals will visit your property and take samples of suspected materials, which will then be examined in our UKAS accredited laboratory.

We offer two types of asbestos testing services management and refurbishment/demolition surveys. A management survey is used to identify the presence of ACMs that may be present in the property, while a refurbishment/demolition survey is used before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place, to identify and manage any risks associated with the presence of asbestos.

What Materials May Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials, which means that any building that was constructed prior to the 1980s may contain asbestos. Some of the most common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Roofing materials such as tiles and sheeting
• Insulation materials such as pipe lagging and loose fill insulation
• Fire protection materials such as fire blankets and doors
• Flooring materials such as vinyl tiles and sheeting
• Cement products such as wall panels and moulded items
• Textured coatings such as artex and stipple

The Risk of Asbestos

If asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and are not disturbed, they do not pose a significant risk to health. It's only when these materials are damaged or broken down, for example, during DIY work or renovation, that the fibers become airborne and can be inhaled. This is when the risk of asbestos exposure becomes high, as the fibers can become lodged in the lungs and cause health problems.

Therefore, if you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it's important to have an asbestos test carried out so that you can manage any risks appropriately.
