Asbestos is a hazardous material once widely used in construction, especially in properties built or refurbished before the year 2000. Undisturbed, it typically poses little threat. However, if materials containing asbestos are damaged or disturbed, they can release microscopic fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious lung diseases, including mesothelioma and asbestosis, often many years later. For homeowners, testing confirms if a suspect material is safe to handle during DIY or renovations. For commercial property owners, it is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to identify and manage asbestos risks. Our testing service is indispensable for safeguarding health and ensuring compliance.
