Asbestos is a dangerous material that was widely used in the construction industry until the mid-1980s. Since then, it has been banned due to its health risks, which include lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If you own or are responsible for managing a property, it is important to know if it contains asbestos. Asbestos can be found in a variety of materials, including insulation, roof tiles, floor tiles, and pipe lagging. If these materials are disturbed or damaged, they can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and pose a serious health risk.

The best way to determine if a property contains asbestos is to conduct an asbestos survey. An asbestos survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property to identify any materials that contain asbestos.
