ASBESTOS IN FARM BUILDINGS

Asbestos in Farm Buildings

Asbestos in farm buildings is common place throughout the UK. The asbestos products typically located on farms include asbestos cement roof sheeting, down pipes, gutters, panels and fascia’s and soffits.

In the majority of cases the asbestos can remain in situ undisturbed and managed.

Where asbestos becomes damaged or roofs are leaking a need for asbestos removal of the products can arise.

The most common asbestos product on farm and agricultural buildings is Asbestos Cement. The material can be costly to remove and disposal costs can be significant.

When looking for the best option for managing the asbestos to farm buildings there are a number of important factors -

  • Is the asbestos damaged?

  • Can the asbestos be repaired (this will be considerably cheaper)

  • Will the material continue to degrade and become damaged?

  • Will it cost me more in the long term?

  • What risk to i have to my health and that of my family and workers?

  • Should the material be tested for asbestos?

Only once you know the answer to the above questions should you consider moving forwards with the management or potential removal of asbestos form your farm buildings.
