These web pages look at concerns and questions about asbestos in homes. It explains what asbestos is, where you might find it, why it might be a problem and how to deal with it.
Asbestos fibres are strong and resistant to heat and chemicals. This is why they have been used in a wide range of building materials and products, often as fireproofing.
Properties built since the mid-1980s are very unlikely to have asbestos as part of the building. Properties built after 1990 are extremely unlikely to have asbestos anywhere in the building.
Asbestos cement has been widely used as a cladding and can still be found in garages and sheds.
