Generally, asbestos is only a risk if you disturb or damage it and cause fibres to be released into the air. If asbestos containing materials are in good condition and in a position where they are not going to be disturbed or damaged then it may be safer to leave them where they are and ensure that any risks are properly managed. Professional advice should be sought.
Asbestos was used in many different products and buildings from the 1950s to the mid 1980s. Many homes may, therefore, contain asbestos containing material.
If you are concerned about asbestos in the home, and the potential removal of it, you should contact the Local Council in your area. They will be able to provide professional advice.
