Where can you find asbestos?

A guide for a Domestic property

Asbestos can be found in any residential or domestic building built or refurbished before the year 2000. It is in many of the common materials used in the building trade that you may come across during your work.

Should you be planning any refurbishment or demolition works in your property, please contact us and we can discuss and advise the level of survey and intrusiveness required to capture all the relevant areas.
