Where Is Asbestos Found In Retail Properties?
The most common places to find asbestos in public sector/commercial buildings, such as shops and other retail premises, include but are not limited to the following:
- Floor tiles – sometimes made of vinyl and often under a newer floor covering in the main area of a shop or exposed in the storerooms, offices, toilets, etc.
- Textured or coated ceilings – e.g. Asbestos in Artex or popcorn ceilings.
- Asbestos cement – e.g. pipes, roofing, etc.
- Asbestos flue pipes – were used as a boiler exhaust system due to their durability and fire-resistance.
- Toilet cisterns – was used to make cisterns stronger and more resistant.
- Textile rope – was used for heat protection, insulation or reinforcement for friction/composite products.
How Dangerous Is Asbestos In Retail Properties?
All of the aforementioned asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were produced using chrysotile (white) asbestos, the most commonly used type due to its soft and flexible fibres that had a high tensile strength, and were easy to spin or weave.
These soft, curved and flexible fibres can spread easily and quickly across the environment if disturbed. The inhalation of these fibres can pose serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.
