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
