Asbestos In Domestic Buildings

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral that was frequently used as a building material in the UK between 1940 and 1999, although it was most common in materials made in the 60s, 70s and 80s. For this reason, any structure or product manufactured before the year 2000 (when the material was banned in the UK) has the potential to contain asbestos.
