Everything you need to know about Asbestos
Asbestos was widely used in UK homes for many years and can still be found in properties built before 2000. It is often hidden within everyday materials and may not be obvious without proper inspection or testing.
In many cases, asbestos does not pose a risk if it is in good condition and left undisturbed. However, when materials are damaged or disturbed during building work, fibres can be released into the air.
Understanding when asbestos may be present, and when to seek professional advice, is an important part of keeping your home safe.
Is asbestos dangerous in the home?
It is generally safe if left undisturbed, but can become a risk if it is damaged or interfered with during work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
Some lower-risk materials can be handled without a licence, but professional removal is always the safest option to avoid risk and ensure proper disposal.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovation?
If your property was built before 2000, a survey is strongly recommended before carrying out any refurbishment work.
What does asbestos look like?
Asbestos is often mixed into other materials such as ceiling coatings, cement sheets and insulation, so it can be difficult to identify by appearance alone.
