Asbestos has been used in a wide range of building materials, such as insulation, roofing materials, tiles, flooring, and more. These materials were used widely throughout the UK, particularly during the post-war building boom. Asbestos can be found in any building that was constructed before the year 2000 and it is often mixed with other materials, making it difficult to detect.

It is important to identify the presence of asbestos in your building as it can be hazardous to the health of the occupants. If the materials containing asbestos are left undisturbed, they will generally not pose a health risk. However, if these materials are damaged, or if they are disturbed during renovation, demolition or general maintenance, asbestos fibers can be released into the air. This can lead to serious health risks, such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.
