Asbestos was commonly used in building materials in the UK until it was banned in 1999. However, many older buildings may still contain asbestos, especially those built before the 1980s. Common building materials that may contain asbestos include ceiling tiles, insulation, roofing, and floor tiles.

If you suspect that your home or workplace may contain asbestos, it's essential to get it tested. Asbestos can be particularly hazardous when it's disturbed, as it releases tiny fibres that can become airborne and be inhaled by anyone nearby. This is particularly concerning in Ightham Common, where there is a high population density and people are at risk of exposure to asbestos.

Our team at Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex can provide a range of asbestos testing services in Ightham Common. Our experts will take samples of the materials in question and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. We then provide a detailed report on the results, along with any recommendations for managing or removing the asbestos if it is present.
