If you own or manage a building in Little Marsh that was built prior to the year 2000, there is a chance that it contains asbestos. Asbestos was widely used in construction materials until it was banned in the UK in 1999 due to its carcinogenic properties. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, they release microscopic fibres that can cause lung cancer and other respiratory diseases if inhaled.

That is why it is essential to have an asbestos survey carried out on your property to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and assess the risks they pose. Depending on the type and condition of the ACMs, a management, refurbishment, or demolition asbestos survey may be required.
