Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that was commonly used in buildings until the 1980s. It was used for its insulation and fire-resistant qualities. However, we now know that exposure to asbestos fibres can cause a range of serious illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos was commonly used in buildings that were built before the 1980s. This means that there's a good chance that your Haythorne property may contain asbestos if it was built before this time. The only way to know for sure if asbestos is present is to have an asbestos test conducted.
