Materials containing asbestos cannot be identified simply by looking at them.

To find out whether a material contains asbestos, you need to have a sample taken of the material and have it analysed by an accredited laboratory. We have carried out surveys in many homes and shared the information we found with our tenants.

If you don’t know whether something contains asbestos, phone us on 0121 717 1515 and we will be able to check our register. If we carry out work in your home and we think the area may contain asbestos, we will arrange for a survey to be carried if we don’t already have a record before completing any work.
