What Materials Can Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in the construction industry until it was banned in the UK in 1999. Any building constructed before this time is likely to contain asbestos-containing materials.

Some common materials that may contain asbestos include:

• Insulation
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles
• Roofing sheets
• Cement products
• Textured coatings (e.g. Artex)
• Gaskets and seals

It is important to note that not all materials that look like asbestos actually contain asbestos. Asbestos testing is the only way to know for sure.

Why is Asbestos Testing Important?

Asbestos testing is important for several reasons:

• To identify whether your property contains asbestos
• To assess the risk posed by any asbestos-containing materials
• To develop a plan for managing any asbestos-containing materials
• To comply with legal requirements

If you are planning any renovation or demolition work on your property, you must have an asbestos survey carried out before work commences.
