Asbestos has been a popular construction material since the 19th century due to its fire-resistant properties and durability. It was used in thousands of building materials, such as insulation, roofing, flooring, ceiling tiles, and even car brakes. However, in the 1980s, extensive research revealed that asbestos was a carcinogenic material and could cause various serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are still present in many old buildings, especially those built before 2000. According to UK law, ACMs must be identified and managed to ensure the safety of occupants and employees.

If you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is crucial to have a professional asbestos survey as a first step. We provide asbestos survey services to identify any ACMs in your building and provide advice on the best course of action to safely manage or remove the material.
