A question we are often asked is where am I most likely to find Asbestos in my house.
Asbestos was used extensively as a building material in Great Britain up until 1999. So if your house was built or had work done to it up to this period there may be a risk that asbestos is present.
Some areas in your home where you may find asbestos include:
- eaves, gutters and rainwater fall pipes
- fire blankets
- boilers
- garage and shed roofs
- linings for walls, ceilings and doors
- insulation panels in some storage heaters
- bath panels
- central heating flues
- loose asbestos packing between floors and in partition walls
- floor tiles
- ironing boards
- ceiling finishes
