If your property was built prior to the year 2000, theres a good chance that it contains asbestos. Asbestos was commonly used in building materials such as insulation, cement, roofing, and flooring, because of its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, its now known to be extremely dangerous to human health as it can lead to the development of serious illnesses, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Asbestos is only dangerous when it becomes disturbed and the particles become airborne. This can happen during renovations, refurbishments, or demolition work. If youre planning any work on your Longparish property, its essential that you have a professional asbestos survey carried out first to identify any asbestos-containing materials that may be present.
