Asbestos in Alton Properties
Many residential and commercial properties in Alton were constructed or refurbished between the 1950s and late 1990s, a period when asbestos-containing materials were widely used throughout the construction industry.
Because of this, asbestos may still be present within certain building materials in older homes and commercial premises across the Romsey area.
Common asbestos-containing materials identified in Alton properties include:
- Asbestos cement garage roofs and outbuildings
- Textured coatings (Artex) applied to ceilings and walls
- Asbestos insulation board (AIB) used in ceiling tiles and service risers
- Thermoplastic floor tiles and bitumen adhesive
- Asbestos cement flues, gutters and rainwater pipes
Identifying these materials before refurbishment work or as part of ongoing property management helps ensure buildings remain compliant while protecting occupants and contractors from potential asbestos exposure.
