Asbestos is a dangerous substance that was widely used in construction materials until the 1970s when it was banned in the UK. Unfortunately, many buildings constructed before this time still contain asbestos, and if disturbed, it can release harmful fibers into the air that can lead to various lung diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

To protect yourself and others from the dangers of asbestos, the UK government requires that all non-domestic buildings built before 2000 undergo an asbestos survey. This survey will identify the presence, location, and condition of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within your property, so you can take the necessary precautions to minimize the risk of exposure.
