Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used in various materials in the UK until the 1990s. It was a common building material used in insulation, floor tiles, roof shingles, and other components used in the construction of homes, offices, and commercial buildings.

Asbestos can be dangerous when airborne. Asbestos fibers that are inhaled can cause serious and long-term health problems such as lung disease and cancer. Asbestos testing is essential for identifying asbestos in your property and ensuring the safety of your occupants.
