Many people are surprised to learn asbestos could still be present in their home or workplace. Although it was banned in the UK in 1999, millions of buildings constructed before then still contain asbestos materials. From insulation to ceiling panels, these products remain in place decades later.

The risk develops when asbestos starts to deteriorate. Over time, materials release microscopic fibres into the air, which can be breathed in without anyone noticing. Prolonged exposure is linked to serious conditions such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. The safest way to avoid this risk is to remove asbestos before it becomes a problem.

It was. In 1999 the UK government banned the use of asbestos in all future construction projects. Unfortunately, by then it had already been installed in millions of homes nationwide. All the ban did was create a floor under the problem. And while that was a necessary first step it did not solve the problem. The mission now is to remove the legacy asbestos, and that is done one house at a time.
