Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in construction and manufacturing due to its fire resistance, insulation properties, and durability. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, it became clear that asbestos fibers could cause significant health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

While the use of asbestos is now heavily regulated and restricted, many properties built before the 1980s may still contain asbestos materials. These materials can release dangerous, microscopic fibers when they are disturbed or damaged, putting occupants at risk.

Asbestos testing is important if you suspect that your property contains asbestos materials. Our team can identify asbestos through a visual inspection or by taking samples, which are then analyzed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
