What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre. Its resistance to heat and chemicals, and its ability to insulate and strengthen materials, led to its use in building materials in the UK between the 1950s and 1980s.

What materials may contain asbestos?

It is difficult to identify if a material contains asbestos just by its appearance. The only way to verify its presence is to conduct sample testing. However, there are some materials that frequently contain asbestos including:

• Cement roofing
• Cement sheeting
• Wall insulation
• Asbestos ceiling tiles
• Asbestos flooring tiles
