Vintec have extensive experience of providing Asbestos Surveys, Testing and a wide range of services to historic properties all over the UK.
It is highly unlikely that historical buildings will have had used asbestos materials as part of their original design. However, asbestos containing materials (ACMs) may have been added as part of structural alterations or general refurbishment etc over the lifetime of the property. Therefore it is generally assumed that any pre-2000 building, regardless of its age, will contain ACMs in some form.
Vintec are members of Historic Houses, who share our passion for protecting iconic heritage sites in Britain.
Whether you manage one, or look after a group of historical properties, our Asbestos Management Service enables you to manage all of your testing, renewals and work carried out, together in one place.
