What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials from the 1950s until the mid-1980s. It was used in a variety of products, including insulation, roofing, and flooring. Asbestos was prized for its heat-resistant qualities and strength.

However, it was not until the late 20th century that the dangers of asbestos became widely known. Exposure to asbestos can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos fibres are released into the air when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged. These fibres can be inhaled, and over time they can accumulate in the lungs, leading to serious health problems.

Why is Asbestos Testing Important?

Asbestos testing is the only way to know for sure if your property contains asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be difficult to identify by sight alone, so it is important to have them tested by professionals.

If asbestos is present in your property, it needs to be identified and dealt with as soon as possible. Asbestos-containing materials can pose a serious health risk, especially if they are disturbed or damaged.
