Why Every Homeowner in Northern Ireland Should Book an Asbestos Survey
The Hidden Danger in Older Homes
If your home in Northern Ireland was built before the year 2000, there’s a strong chance it contains asbestos. This once “wonder material” was used in everything from insulation and roof tiles to textured wall coatings. Unfortunately, it is now known to cause life-threatening illnesses, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
The real danger is that asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye. When disturbed during DIY, renovations, or even normal wear and tear, they can become airborne and easily inhaled. This is why asbestos has been called a “silent killer” – you may not even realise you’ve been exposed until decades later.
What Is an Asbestos Survey?
An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection carried out by qualified professionals like us. The purpose is simple: to find out if asbestos is present, what condition it’s in, and what risks it poses, and any mitigation measures.
We provide two main types of surveys across Northern Ireland:
- Management Survey – to identify asbestos in everyday use, ideal for homeowners and landlords.
- Refurbishment/Demolition Survey – required before any major renovation or demolition work.
Our surveys are followed by a plain English asbestos report – no jargon, just clear, easy-to-understand results.
Why Homeowners Shouldn’t Ignore It
- Protect your family: Asbestos exposure can cause fatal diseases.
- Avoid costly surprises: Renovation projects can become expensive if asbestos is discovered halfway through.
- Peace of mind: Knowing whether your property is asbestos-free is priceless.
