Asbestos was widely used in construction throughout the UK, particularly between the 1950s and 1980s, due to its durability, insulating properties and fire resistance. Although the use of asbestos is now banned in the UK, asbestos-
containing materials (ACMs) are still present in many buildings constructed or
refurbished before 2000.
When left undisturbed and in good condition, asbestos can remain stable.
However, if damaged or disturbed, it can release hazardous fibres into the air,
posing serious health risks.
For this reason, asbestos removal and treatment must only be carried out by qualified specialists working under controlled conditions, in accordance with current regulations.
