The Importance of Asbestos Testing

Asbestos was widely used in building materials until the late 1990s, so many homes and businesses in the UK contain asbestos. If your building was built before 2000, it is likely that you have materials that contain asbestos.

While asbestos is not dangerous when it's in good condition, it becomes a health risk when it's disturbed. If the materials containing asbestos are damaged, they release fibers into the air that can be inhaled. These fibers are nearly invisible, and they can remain in the lungs for decades.

Asbestos-related illnesses are slow to develop, and symptoms can take years or even decades to appear. By the time symptoms are noticeable, the damage is already done. That's why it's important to have your building tested for asbestos before any materials are disturbed.
