Asbestos Safety & Legalities

Asbestos can be very dangerous and potentially life-threatening as it causes several different lung conditions including lung cancer. If asbestos is disturbed but not removed correctly, it can release asbestos micro fibres that cause such a large problem to anyone. Asbestos was completely banned for use in 1999, meaning any buildings built before 2000 could still contain this substance.

Our asbestos services in Lichfield will thoroughly inspect and test every property and since the Control of Asbestos Regulation Act 2012, it is now a legal requirement to have an asbestos management plan in place for commercial buildings. This ensures asbestos never becomes a risk and whilst it may not always be relevant, it maximises your safety in any building. To understand your legal duties in more detail, see our page on asbestos law.

Our team have over 20 years of experience working with asbestos and will always complete approved safety audits such as COSHH surveys and assessments. We have a range of skills and qualifications to assure you of the highest standard of work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do listed buildings in Lichfield need an asbestos survey?

Yes. Lichfield has over 230 listed buildings, many of which have been converted into shops, offices or homes. Listed status does not exempt a property from asbestos regulations it simply means the survey must be carried out sensitively, with minimal disturbance to original fabric such as timber framing, lath and plaster, or historic joinery.

How old does a building in Lichfield need to be to potentially contain asbestos?

Any building constructed or refurbished before the year 2000 could contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), as asbestos use was banned in the UK in 1999. Given Lichfield’s large stock of Georgian and Victorian-era buildings around the city centre, alongside mid-20th-century commercial and school buildings, this covers a significant proportion of local properties.

Can an asbestos survey be carried out without damaging a historic or listed building?

Yes. A management survey is largely non-intrusive and focuses on accessible areas and visual inspection. Where sampling is required in a listed building, we agree the approach in advance and keep any disturbance to a minimum, in line with the building’s listed status.

Do schools and commercial premises in and around Lichfield need an asbestos management plan?

Yes. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, anyone responsible for the maintenance of non-domestic premises including schools, offices and shops in and around Lichfield has a legal ‘duty to manage’ asbestos, which includes having an up-to-date asbestos register and management plan.
