Use a Professional Team for Your Asbestos Survey in Skipton

If you are uncertain about whether you need an asbestos survey in Skipton, contact us. An asbestos survey is part of the duty holder’s obligations in ensuring a safe work place for his employees. Many older buildings were constructed using asbestos-containing materials. This was the norm as asbestos has a number of positive qualities, and when added to building materials, it added strength and durability, among other aspects. Unfortunately, when asbestos has degraded, it releases its microscopic fibres which lead to severe illness when inhaled. The use of asbestos in building materials was banned, and subsequently, steps need to be taken to manage the asbestos that is still present in some buildings.

If you manage or own an older building in Skipton, an asbestos survey should be completed to ensure that both you and your building are compliant. An asbestos survey will determine the location and extent of the asbestos, and outline the correct methods to manage it. It is best to use a professional company for an asbestos survey as it is certainly not a DIY project.
