🏠The Hidden Danger in Older Properties
Asbestos was widely used in the UK until it was fully banned in 1999. That means any home or building built before 2000 could still contain asbestos — especially in garage roofs, floor tiles, textured coatings (Artex), and pipe insulation.
While asbestos is safe if left undisturbed, problems start when it’s damaged, broken, or removed without proper control measures. That’s when dangerous fibres can be released into the air — fibres that are invisible to the naked eye and can lead to serious health conditions.
đźš« Common Areas Where Asbestos Might Still Be Found
At D&M Asbestos Removal, we regularly find asbestos in:
- Garage and shed roofs (corrugated cement sheets)
- Floor tiles and the black bitumen glue underneath
- Textured coatings (Artex)Â on ceilings and walls
- Pipe lagging and old water tanks
- Soffits, gutters and downpipes
If you’re planning renovation work or have noticed damage to any of these materials, it’s crucial to get them assessed by a professional before disturbing anything.
🔍 What to Do If You Suspect Asbestos
The first step is to book an asbestos sampling visit. At D&M, we offer fast turnaround testing to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.
If the result is positive, we’ll provide clear, straightforward advice on your options — from encapsulation to full removal — depending on the risk and your budget.
