What is asbestos? Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral which is strong, flexible, and fire-resistant. It was widely used in construction materials from around the 1940s to the 1980s. It was completely banned from use in 1999. There is a number of different types of asbestos, but the most common ones are: Chrysotile (white), Amosite (brown), and Crocidolite (blue).
Asbestos has been found to cause a number of serious diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. For non-domestic premises, there is a legal requirement to manage asbestos, and our team can advise you of your options to ensure compliance.
