Since 2016, our dedicated team have been helping building owners and managers to identify and assess the asbestos status within their Fleetwood premises.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the dutyholder of commercial, industrial and domestic premises must protect people from the risks of exposure to asbestos. This is where we come in! We provide asbestos surveying and management/planning services across Fleetwood to offer support and peace of mind to building owners. Our Fleetwood team have the experience and knowledge to provide tailored asbestos solutions for your unique situation. We pride ourselves on always being reliable, efficient and up to date with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) legislation.
Asbestos in Fleetwood
Originally a seaside resort, Fleetwood then grew into one of the top three fishing ports in the country in the late 1800s. The town features a mix of historical and architectural styles reflecting its rich heritage. Notable buildings include the Fleetwood Market, a bustling Victorian marketplace dating back to 1840, and the North Euston Hotel, an elegant Regency-style building from 1841.
One of Fleetwood’s best-loved landmarks, The Mount, is a small hill on Fleetwood Esplanade with the Mount Pavillion standing at the top, surrounded by the Mount Gardens. The Mount was built in 1836, and has a grade II listing due to its historical significance.
However, with older, historic constructions comes a higher risk of asbestos – which is where asbestos removal management may be required.
Asbestos was also used in the nearby city of Blackpool in the telephone exchange during the 1930s, whereby workers were exposed to disturbed asbestos-containing materials.
Asbestos Surveys in Fleetwood
At Pillars Environmental, we carry out two kinds of asbestos surveys:
The Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey (R&D Asbestos Survey) is needed if your building was constructed before the year 2000 and refurbishment/demolition works are due to occur. The R&D survey is undertaken with visual and intrusive techniques. Therefore, we require access to all areas of the site where there could be potential ACMs present.
Adopting a far less invasive approach, an Asbestos Management survey involves testing materials while the building will likely remain occupied – only in areas where access is available. If access is proving difficult, it will be presumed that asbestos is present. If material is found to have asbestos, all other similar materials will be presumed to be containing asbestos too.
Asbestos Management Plans in Fleetwood
An asbestos management plan sets out the process that will be undertaken in order to manage the status of any asbestos within your building. This will ensure that those who may enter the building will remain protected against asbestos. Our asbestos management plans create a history of any asbestos materials found and labels the course of action taken which could include monitor and review, undertake remedial works or remove.
Our asbestos management plans in Fleetwood give you the tools to manage the risk of asbestos and allow you to fulfil your legal obligations in as a dutyholder.
