These are only examples and many more items within properties may contain asbestos, which is a Class 1 Human Carcinogen killing 5500 people per year in the UK. We are regularly contacted by estate agents, building surveyors and home owners to discuss the problem of asbestos in their properties. The presence of asbestos products in properties often can have a dramatic effect on the saleability and purchase price of the property. We have been involved in many cases where sales have fallen through following the discovery of asbestos products. It is best to have an Asbestos Survey carried out before a property is either put on the market or renovated. This will identify the location and type of any asbestos. We will then advise you of the best and most cost efficient way to perform asbestos removal of these asbestos items.
