An asbestos survey in Bournville is a mandatory requirement. If you have plans to renovate or demolish your building, you’ll definitely need an asbestos survey before you can begin. Old buildings were constructed with asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos as found to have excellent properties and when added to building materials, provided strength, durability as well as the ability to withstand high temperatures. As a result, buildings erected before 2000 likely have asbestos within them. However, exposure to asbestos’ fine particles causes deadly disease. Asbestos and its use have since been banned.
Many buildings still have asbestos-containing materials. In Bournville, an asbestos survey must be completed to ensure the building meets legislation. Thus, when the building meets the requirements, it is safe for the occupants. As asbestos gets old it also gets friable. This means that hen it is disturbed, it will release its tiny fibres into the air. Those nearby are likely to inhale these fibres. Asbestos related diseases are not immediately apparent. It is only a fwe years later that the effects are seen. Renovations and demolition will cause the disturbance of the asbestos fibres.
