Asbestos London

What Makes Asbestos So Dangerous?

Asbestos fibres are incredibly small and invisible to the naked eye. When materials containing asbestos are damaged or age naturally, these fibres are released into the air. If inhaled, they can become lodged in your lungs, leading to severe health problems such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. These diseases may take decades to develop, but the effects can be devastating.

Why London’s buildings are at risk? London’s rich architectural heritage is one of its greatest attractions, but it also means many buildings predate modern construction safety standards. If your property was built before 2000, it’s possible that asbestos could be lurking in roof tiles, pipe insulation, or even decorative coatings like Artex. The risk is even higher in older industrial or commercial buildings.

Take control of your environment. With a professional asbestos management survey, you’re not just complying with regulations—you’re protecting lives.

Common Places Asbestos Is Found in London Properties

Asbestos can hide in surprising places across London’s homes, offices, schools, and public buildings. If your property dates back to before 2000, understanding its potential locations is essential for safety.

• Homes: In residential settings, asbestos may be found in garage walls, corrugated roof sheets, or Artex coatings. Insulation boards around fireplaces and pipe lagging in older homes are other common areas to check.
• Offices: Older office buildings often used asbestos in ceiling tiles, flooring, and fireproofing materials. Air conditioning systems and partition walls may also contain asbestos, especially in properties yet to be refurbished.
• Schools: Asbestos is commonly found in school boiler rooms, pipe coverings, and floor tiles. These materials were once valued for durability but now pose a health risk if disturbed.
• Public Buildings: Libraries, hospitals, and other public spaces may have asbestos in ceiling panels, window putty, and roofing felt. These materials can degrade over time, releasing harmful fibres.
• Stay Safe: Asbestos remains safe if undisturbed, but damage or wear can release fibres into the air. Professional surveys and removal services are essential to protect your property and its occupants.
