Before you start

Asbestos was historically used in products because of its good insulating qualities and fire and chemical resistance. Equipment bought new after the year 2000 should not contain any asbestos materials but older equipment may contain asbestos, such as:

  • heatproof materials;
  • insulating mats;
  • fire blankets;
  • oven gloves;
  • ironing surfaces;
  • equipment with soundproofing;
  • thermal insulation; and
  • brakes – brake shoes, pads and linings.
1. Book an asbestos survey

If you would like an asbestos contractor to inspect any suspected asbestos, please fill out the Asbestos Survey Request form and email it to estates.asbestos@ucl.ac.uk

2. Asbestos survey is carried out

Once the survey has been completed, you will be advised of any next steps which need to be taken.
