Despite advancements in construction methods, asbestos remains a lingering threat, often perceived as a relic of the past. However, its extensive use in post-war Britain, primarily for its fire-retardant properties, has left a lasting legacy.

Every day, on any job, you could be unknowingly exposed to deadly asbestos fibres. Unlike dust, asbestos fibres are invisible—you can’t see them, smell them, or feel them in the air or on your clothing.
Asbestos may be present in any building constructed or renovated before 2000, particularly those built during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. If you’re working on an older property, there’s a real possibility that asbestos is already around you.
