Asbestos continues to be a major concern in Skegness buildings

Skegness is, in so many ways, the archetypal English seaside resort. The arrival of the railway in the town during the late 19th century led to its rapid development as a holiday spot for Britons.

One of the locality’s most fabled landmarks to this day is Butlin’s first resort, which opened its doors in 1936. To this day, Skegness has a loyal visitor base, with many people flocking here to enjoy its Blue Flag awarded beach, energetic nightlife scene, and traditional seaside attractions including the likes of amusement arcades, ten-pin bowling, and crazy golf.

Another defining development of late 19th-century Britain, though, was the emergence of asbestos as a building material.

The fibrous silicate mineral – once known as a “miracle product” due to such qualities as its relative affordability, physical strength, fire resistance, and effectiveness as an insulator – went on to be incorporated into many UK buildings over the course of the 20th century.

By the time all forms of asbestos were finally banned in the UK in late 1999, such asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) as asbestos cement roof sheeting, insulating boards, pipe lagging, and textured and sprayed coatings had seen extensive use up and down the country.

If, then, you own or are otherwise responsible for managing and maintaining a Skegness building that was constructed or renovated prior to the year 2000, you should be mindful of the high likelihood of it containing asbestos.

By arranging an asbestos survey to be conducted at your Skegness premises by our accredited and skilled professionals, you can determine what ACMs may be present there. Furthermore, you can be recommended steps that will help you manage the risks these materials could pose to human health. Such dangers can particularly arise if the materials are disturbed or damaged.

Skegness asbestos surveys: the most important things to know

We are often asked various questions about asbestos surveys. Below, we have provided answers to a few of the most common ones. If you have any further queries about asbestos inspections or any of our other services, please feel free to enquire to our team.

What is an asbestos survey?

An asbestos survey is a process whereby a property or building is inspected in order to locate and identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

Three types of asbestos survey exist, differing in their intrusiveness and aims:

The management survey, which is the least intrusive type, and is designed to provide the information that allows an asbestos register and an asbestos management plan to be put together. It is the form of asbestos survey to request if you are simply looking to responsibly manage ACMs during the normal occupation or use of your building.
The refurbishment survey, which needs to be carried out on a building that may contain asbestos if refurbishment work is set to be undertaken there. This is a fully intrusive inspection, aimed at locating and identifying all ACMs in the surveyed area – including those hidden deep within the building’s fabric.
The demolition survey, which – like the refurbishment survey – is fully intrusive and entails destructive inspection and the potential disturbance of asbestos. This typically necessitates the surveyed part of the site being vacated while the inspection is underway. As the name suggests, this type of survey must be conducted before any demolition work is carried out at a building in which asbestos may be present.

Whatever type of asbestos survey you request, the surveyor won’t merely need to identify any ACMs in the inspected property. That’s because they will also provide an assessment of the level of damage or deterioration to any such materials. Furthermore, you can expect the resultant asbestos report to set out recommendations to what to do next.

Do I actually need an asbestos survey for my Skegness building?

Hopefully, you will be mindful of the strong health and safety reasons to arrange an asbestos survey of your premises in or near Skegness.

If you don’t know where ACMs may be present in your building, or even what the condition of those materials may be, there could be a higher risk of an occupant of your property coming across those materials and accidentally disturbing them. This could cause dangerous asbestos fibres to be released, and perhaps breathed in by someone nearby.

However, there also tends to be a strong legal justification for having an asbestos survey conducted at a non-domestic property. For further insights into this, you are welcome to read our in-depth article on whether asbestos surveys are legally required for UK buildings.

In summary, however, if you are in control of a Skegness building that was constructed before the year 2000, you will have a legal duty in accordance with the UK’s asbestos regulations to control the risks this now-banned mineral can pose. This will almost certainly mean you need to arrange an asbestos survey for your site.

What can I expect to see in the asbestos survey report?

After the asbestos survey is complete, you can expect to be issued with a comprehensive asbestos report. This document will set out information about your site, a bulk analysis report, material assessments, details on the purpose and aims of the survey, and much more.
