Asbestos is a hazardous material that was frequently used in building construction for many years. Until the late 1990s, it was used in the majority of UK buildings, including homes, offices, hospitals, and schools. Unfortunately, it was discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause fatal diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If your building was constructed before the year 2000, it is highly likely that it contains some form of asbestos material. Therefore, it is important to have a professional survey conducted to identify any presence of asbestos.
