Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older buildings across Sulhamstead Abbots, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
