Asbestos was a common building material used in construction until the 1980s. It was used due to its insulation properties and its resistance to fire and chemicals. However, asbestos is now known to be highly dangerous and a major health risk. Exposure to asbestos can cause a range of diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, which can be fatal.

In order to protect the health and safety of those who use your property, it is essential that you have an asbestos survey conducted. This will identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) on your property so that you can manage them safely.
