How an Asbestos Survey Can Save You Thousands in Renovation Costs
Renovations and Hidden Dangers
Renovating a property is an exciting journey. Whether it’s transforming a tired old family home or upgrading a commercial space, it often comes with dreams of new layouts, added value, and fresh beginnings. But in Northern Ireland, many buildings constructed before the year 2000 could contain a hidden danger — asbestos.
Asbestos was once hailed as a “miracle material” because of its fire resistance and strength. It was used in insulation, ceiling boards, floor tiles, and even textured coatings like Artex. The danger arises when these materials are cut, drilled, or broken during DIY or renovation. Once disturbed, asbestos fibres are released into the air and can be inhaled — creating serious health risks.
The Cost of Unplanned Discovery
Imagine you start a kitchen renovation and, halfway through removing old flooring or knocking down walls, asbestos is found. Work must legally stop immediately, licensed professionals need to be brought in, and the project can be delayed for weeks. These unexpected costs can run into thousands of pounds and put enormous stress on your budget.
The Smarter Investment
An asbestos survey costs a fraction of what unplanned asbestos removal might set you back. By identifying asbestos before any work begins, you can budget for safe management or removal and avoid costly surprises.
