Asbestos Ceiling Tiles

This asbestolux tile was discovered during a type 3 asbestos survey on a 1970's office in the West Midlands during August 2004. Not all tiles come as clearly marked as this one and therefore older tiles should be tested for the presence of asbestos. |

Both ceiling tiles in this picture were tested and found to contain asbestos. They were found during a type 3 asbestos survey in laboratory premises in West Bromwich, West Midlands in September 2004. The building was due for demolition, but undisturbed, the tiles presented no immediate risk to health.

Beneath the suspended ceiling, this supporting column was plastered. Inspection above the suspended ceiling (picture) revealed a previous Artex coating which was tested and found to contain asbestos. Old Artex often contained asbestos - this must only be removed by specialist contractors - it must NOT be sanded under any circumstances. |
Remember, it is now a legal requirement for all commercial premises to maintain an asbestos management plan.
You have a duty to identify where asbestos may be present in your building, in order to safeguard the health and safety of your employees, visitors and contractors.
This is not optional. For assistance with any aspect of management or removal of asbestos, please call us using the numbers given at the top of each page.
