Asbestos was widely used in the UK until the 1980s, and many older buildings in Bottreaux Mill still contain ACMs. If you own or manage a property that was built before 2000, it's likely that some materials in the building may contain asbestos. These materials can include:

• Insulation materials (thermal and acoustic)
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles
• Pipe lagging
• Roofing and cladding materials
• Cement products
• Textured coatings (like Artex)

If these materials are in good condition and not disturbed, they are usually safe. However, if they are damaged or disturbed (for example, during renovation or demolition work), they can release harmful asbestos fibres into the air. That's why it's crucial to identify these materials and assess their condition.

Our asbestos testing services can help you identify any ACMs in your property and determine their condition. We use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to take samples of suspected ACMs, which are then analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Based on the laboratory results, we can advise you on the best course of action to manage any ACMs on your property.
