Asbestos was widely used in construction across the UK right up until 1999 due to its excellent insulating and fire-resistant properties. This means it’s still present in countless buildings, from domestic properties to large commercial offices and industrial facilities. Common places you might find asbestos include garage roofs, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, floor tiles, textured coatings (like Artex), and various cement products. When these materials are damaged or disturbed, they release microscopic fibres into the air, which can be incredibly dangerous if inhaled. Knowing if it’s present and how to deal with it correctly is crucial for everyone's health and safety.
