The use of asbestos in construction materials was common in the UK until the 1980s, and it was only in the 1990s that the dangers of asbestos exposure were fully understood. The inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Therefore, it is essential to have your property checked for asbestos to identify any harmful materials that may be present. Asbestos testing can provide you with the information you need to determine the next steps and ensure that your property is safe.
