Asbestos is a dangerous material that can be found in various components of your property, including walls, ceilings, floors, insulation, pipes, and roofing. Before the 1990s, asbestos was commonly used in the construction industry, meaning homes and commercial buildings built before then are likely to contain asbestos. Even if you aren't sure if asbestos is present, it's critically essential that you take a professional survey to determine whether or not it is present.

Asbestos can cause severe health problems, especially when inhaled or ingested. The hazard is even more significant when asbestos-containing materials become damaged or disturbed, releasing fibers into the air. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can remain in the lung tissue for a long time causing long-term scarring and can result in lung cancer.
