Why was asbestos used in the construction sector?

Asbestos was used across the UK construction sector for decades because it is an excellent insulator and is fire resistant. However, it was fully banned from use in the UK due to the risks it poses to long term human health when breathed in. More about the dangers of breathing in asbestos fibres can be read here.

Asbestos wasn't fully banned in the UK until 1999, so if your property was renovated or constructed before the year 2000 then you should assume that it could contain asbestos.

It should be noted that as long as the asbestos containing material isn't disturbed then it should pose minimal risk, however it's always the safest option to have an asbestos removal company like ourselves, safely remove it from your property.

When we carry out an asbestos survey (which is done prior to asbestos removal), we regularly come across asbestos in the following places - 

• Asbestos cement, which can be found on chimney flues, guttering, downpipes and panels.
• Lagging, which was commonly used as insulation on boilers and pipes.
• Loose fill insulation.
• Asbestos insulation board (AIB), commonly used on partition walls, ceiling tiles and as panels in fire doors.

This is only a few examples simply because asbestos was used so widely across the construction sector. The HSE has a visual that demonstrates this far better than words can.
