Why You Need a Domestic Asbestos Survey
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be found in homes across the UK, and if disturbed, they release harmful fibers that can cause severe lung diseases, including asbestosis and mesothelioma. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or homebuyer, an asbestos survey gives you the information you need to manage any risks effectively.
