FAQ's
Asbestos is made up of tiny fibres that can be released into the air when disturbed. Once breathed in or swallowed, these particles can settle in the lungs or digestive system and lead to serious health problems over time. Long-term exposure has been linked to life-threatening illnesses such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and certain types of cancer.
Asbestos use dates back to the 1930s, but it became especially widespread in housing during the 1960s. If your property in Ipswich was built before the year 2000, there’s a strong chance asbestos could be present. It’s always wise to arrange a professional survey before starting any renovation or construction work.
The UK introduced a full ban on asbestos in late 1999, making it illegal to import, sell, or use asbestos-containing materials from that point forward. That’s why the year 2000 is often used as the benchmark when assessing whether a building might still contain asbestos.
The lungs are usually the first to show signs of asbestos-related illness, with symptoms like persistent coughing, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing. If asbestos fibres are swallowed rather than inhaled, you might also experience pain in the abdomen or lower back.
If you’re planning any work on a property built before 2000, it’s highly recommended to arrange professional asbestos removal for any areas flagged in a survey. Common tasks in Colchester include removing asbestos from garage roofs, as well as other materials like fascia boards, soffits, and guttering.
