Asbestos in domestic properties

Asbestos in domestic properties:

Before we talk about removing asbestos let me tell you a bit more about how, where and when asbestos was used in domestic properties just so you have a better idea if you do really have an asbestos issue.

Asbestos was used in a wide range of building materials and products, often as fireproofing because the fibres are strong and very heat resistant.

Asbestos cement has been widely used as a cladding material and often found in sheds and garages. Properties built in the mid 1980’s are very unlikely to contain
asbestos and properties built in the 1990’s are extremely unlikely to contain asbestos
anywhere in the building.

Here are some types of asbestos materials that may be found in Garages and Sheds

• Asbestos cement products (mainly 10-15%, but up to 40% on occasions)

Being the most widely used asbestos material it is found in many types of buildings.
Asbestos cement products have also been used in guttering and drainpipes and as
roofing and cladding for garages.

Asbestos cement is still being used today in roofing and cladding by some companies but because of the way it is made today it is unlikely to release high levels of fibre unless it is subject to extreme abrasion. At L & M Concrete Garages we only use fibre cement with no asbestos content.

• Other Building Materials and products

There is a variety of other building materials that contain asbestos including decorative coatings such as some plasters and textured paints. Supply and application of such materials has been prohibited since 1988 but they are still widely in place. Other materials that can contain asbestos are roofing felts, plastic floor tiles, cushion flooring, ropes, tapes felts and blankets.

Summary

So you now know if you have asbestos in your property, what type of asbestos it is and how harmful it can be. If you are still unsure about certain materials in your home always presume that they do contain asbestos.

So how do you go about removing the asbestos?

Sectional Concrete Garages, (UK):
Sectional concrete garages, concrete sheds, concrete workshops and concrete offices use a prefabrication system to manufacture the building for assembly at a different location. All our sectional concrete buildings use high quality reinforcing steel bars to provide a strong and lasting construction. In fact we are so sure of our methods that we provide an unrivalled 15 year guarantee on all out concrete products.

Prefab Garages:
The term prefab or prefabricated refers to the method of construction. Our prefab garages, offices, sheds and workshops are constructed in sections and assembled on site. This prefab method allows the production and build time to be reduced. Prefabrication also means that custom sized garages, sheds and workshops can be more easily accommodated.

Battery Garages UK
Battery Garages are a series of prefab concrete garages built together. They are used by Local Authorities, Housing Associations and private developers to provide garages at a convenient distance from buildings, where space to locate them within the grounds of the building is not possible or desired. We can design, manufacture and build battery garages to your specification, and can adapt out existing ranges of garages to enable reduced costs.

Concrete Offices:
If you run a business and rent a property as an office you will be aware of the costs involved. To help reduce costs many have now built a concrete office close to their home so that they can reduce the carbon footprint by reducing travel, improve their lifestyle and vastly reduce costs. Even with the cost of construction, the capital outlay can easily be recovered in the first years savings of rent.

Concrete Workshops:
Many who run businesses need a workshop to provide vital facilities. The cost of rented workshops can be very high and they are often difficult to find as many light commercial estates now cater for the larger company. If you are caught in that position then consider a prefab concrete workshop. The initial costs are relatively low, often less than the premium required on a lease, the building is virtually maintenance free, can be sited (with permission where necessary) in a convenient location, and built to your specifications.
