Asbestos testing

In this line of work it’s very easy to get exposed to asbestos, which was commonly used in the building industry until banned entirely as late as 1999. There are a lot of properties that still contain significant amounts of asbestos - a substance known to be carcinogenic and cause major health problems, ultimately leading to an unpleasant and painful death for those who are exposed.

As such, if there are any suspicions that your property has building materials that contain asbestos, such as artexed ceilings or walls etc, it is important to get them tested before any work involving the removal, or cutting or drilling of such materials takes place. Asbestos sampling kits can be bought online, or for a more thorough test of your property you can hire asbestos testing companies to carry out the work.
