Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once popularly used in the construction industry due to its heat and fire-resistant properties. However, it was later discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers could pose serious health risks, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. As a result, in 1999, the use of asbestos was banned in the UK.

Despite the ban, older buildings still contain asbestos, making it important to identify and manage any potential risks associated with asbestos exposure. This is where our asbestos survey services come in.
