Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring minerals made up of fine, durable fibres. These materials were widely used in construction due to their strength, heat resistance, and insulating properties. It is now well established that asbestos is extremely hazardous, as inhaling airborne fibres can cause serious and life-threatening illnesses.

Asbestos falls into two main categories: serpentine asbestos, such as chrysotile (white asbestos), and amphibole asbestos, including crocidolite (blue), amosite (brown), and tremolite. Amphibole asbestos is generally regarded as the more dangerous type.

Prior to its ban, asbestos was commonly used in products such as insulation, roofing sheets, cement materials, pipes, ceiling tiles, and vehicle components like brake pads. Exposure to asbestos fibres is linked to severe health conditions including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Due to these significant health risks, asbestos was prohibited in the UK in 1999. However, asbestos may still be present in buildings or materials constructed or refurbished before the year 2000.

Asbestos only poses a risk when its fibres are released and inhaled, ingested, or come into contact with the skin. The health effects of exposure depend on factors such as the amount and duration of exposure, the type of asbestos, and how contact occurs.

All asbestos fibres are hazardous and can cause cancer when inhaled, with amphibole types (including blue and brown asbestos) considered more dangerous than white asbestos. Long-term exposure to high fibre levels can lead to asbestosis, a serious lung disease that may take decades to develop and increases the risk of cancer. Lower-level exposure over time can also cause thickening of the lung lining, including pleural plaques and diffuse pleural thickening.

Asbestos was widely used in UK building materials, particularly from the 1950s through to the 1980s. If your property was constructed during this period, it is likely to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). As a result, there is a strong possibility that asbestos may be present within your home.

Our team will carry out a thorough assessment of your property and provide clear guidance on any action required. While homeowners may legally remove certain low-risk materials themselves, using qualified professionals ensures all work is completed safely, in line with strict legislation, and fully compliant with current regulations.

For domestic asbestos surveys, as well as safe removal and disposal services, contact us to receive a reliable and professional service you can trust.

If you own or manage a commercial or industrial property and are concerned about asbestos in the workplace, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) place a legal duty on you to manage asbestos and any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within the premises.

While the day-to-day management of asbestos can be handled internally or outsourced, the legal responsibility cannot be passed on. Property owners and duty holders remain fully accountable for ensuring that anyone appointed to manage asbestos is competent and suitably qualified.

Unfortunately, some property owners receive poor or unnecessary advice from asbestos surveyors or management companies, leading to avoidable costs. Our approach is to provide honest, practical guidance focused on compliance and cost-effective solutions—not recommending work that isn’t genuinely required.

Anyone responsible for building maintenance is classed as the Duty Holder and must have an asbestos management plan in place. The starting point is an asbestos management survey, regardless of assumptions about whether asbestos is present. Many enforcement actions have resulted from owners incorrectly assuming their buildings were asbestos-free.

We strongly recommend appointing experienced professionals to carry out an asbestos survey and provide a comprehensive report with clear, compliant recommendations.
