Asbestos is a natural mineral that was widely used in the construction industry until its ban in 1999 due to health risks associated with its fibres. Asbestos fibres, if inhaled, can cause serious respiratory health conditions such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.

The use of Asbestos was common in UK residential and commercial buildings constructed before the 1990s, including roofs, walls, insulation, and flooring. If you suspect that your building contains Asbestos, it is essential to have a professional Asbestos survey conducted to determine the extent and condition of the Asbestos-containing material.
