Asbestos hasn’t ceased to be an issue in Blackpool

The use of all forms of asbestos was banned in the UK by the end of the 20th century. So, if you are responsible for managing and/or maintaining a property in Blackpool, you might easily overlook the importance of continued vigilant asbestos management today.

A long iconic and popular seaside town, Blackpool is strongly associated with such instantly recognisable attractions and landmarks as Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Stanley Park, and the Winter Gardens.

The 20th century was a period of considerable development and triumph for Blackpool; it has often been referred to as “the Las Vegas of the North”. In the words of the novelist J. B. Priestley, it was “the great roaring spangled beast”.

Something else of historical significance that came to mark out the 20th century, however, was the extensive use of asbestos in UK buildings. Much of this dangerous substance remains embedded in the fabric of buildings in and around Blackpool that were constructed or renovated prior to the year 2000.

As ACMs age, there can be a heightened risk of these products releasing loose asbestos fibres. This, in turn, could imperil the health of building occupants and users. This is why, in certain circumstances – such as if ACMs are severely damaged or deteriorated, or in locations that pose a high risk of future disturbance – the decision may be taken to remove them.

The things you should know about Blackpool asbestos removal and disposal

There are various things you might have wondered about asbestos removal, disposal, and remediation. Below, we have answered some of the questions we most frequently receive about this subject. If you still have any unanswered queries, please contact our professionals.

Does the HSE provide any guidance about asbestos removal?

Yes, the regulatory body has put together a range of publications and resources over the years, covering many different aspects of removing asbestos from buildings. You might be interested in reading our rundown of some of the most relevant documents.

Is a HSE licence strictly necessary in order to work on asbestos materials?

Some work on ACMs can be carried out without a HSE licence being legally required. However, there are also many activities that do require a HSE licence. Regardless, even in the case of “unlicensed” work, it is essential for compliance to be maintained with the asbestos regulations.

This helps to explain why the general tendency among building owners and managers in the UK is to request the services of licensed contractors to work on the asbestos in their property – even in cases where a licence isn’t strictly necessary.

After all, if you do opt for an asbestos removal company that holds a HSE licence – as is the case for Oracle Solutions, covering all work with asbestos – you will know that your chosen firm has achieved certain standards stipulated by the regulator. This means you can have the very greatest confidence in the safety, legal compliance, and competence of its work.

Is it essential for all asbestos to be removed from a Blackpool building?

No, complete asbestos removal is not essential, unless the specific circumstances around the ACMs (and/or future planned activities) necessitate such a drastic step.

In fact, it is crucial that asbestos is only removed from a given UK premises, whether in Blackpool or elsewhere, if there is a high probability of disturbance to the material, or if the given ACMs are in such poor condition that they cannot be made safe.

If, for instance, normal everyday activities at the site (or proposed works such as refurbishment or demolition) pose a high risk of the asbestos material being disturbed, these are examples of situations in which the given ACMs should be removed.

One option for ACMs is the encapsulation of the material – in other words, sealing it off to guard against the risk of the material being disturbed in the future. We have written previously about the circumstances in which you might decide to encapsulate ACMs, and the circumstances in which removal of the material might make greater sense.
