Asbestos

Asbestos only becomes a risk to health if the fibres become airborne and are breathed in. This can damage the lungs. 
The most common diseases associated with exposure to asbestos are asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Before carrying out any home improvement or DIY work in your home, please ask for our advice and permission.
If you don’t know what a material is made from, assume that it contains asbestos.
If you think you may have damaged or disturbed asbestos, please get in touch

If you live in an older home and are looking to decorate, you may discover asbestos in textured paint, cement or flooring. If the material looks damaged, please avoid cleaning up, as this needs to be done by a professional.
