The Risk of Asbestos Exposure

Exposure to asbestos can cause serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases can take years to develop and can be fatal. The risk of asbestos exposure is highest for people who work in the construction industry, especially those who work in older buildings. However, homeowners and tenants are also at risk if they live or work in a building that contains asbestos.

Its highly recommended that you have your property checked for asbestos if you suspect it might be present. While asbestos is not always a cause for concern, its essential to ensure that the asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and that they are not liable to be disturbed by routine maintenance or renovation work.

Common asbestos-containing materials in Cold Harbour can include:

• Insulation asbestos was commonly used as insulation in walls, ceilings, pipes, and boilers.
