Asbestos is a naturally ocurring mineral that breaks into very tiny pieces in the atmosphere. Everybody is exposed to some asbestos fibres at all times. These low level natural levels do not cause a danger. Asbestos onyl becomes dangerous when you are exposed to a high level of fibres.
We have written to all of our customers to confirm whether there is any asbestos in their home. The report identifies any areas where asbestos is present, including the location, type and condition of the material containing asbestos. Please make sure you read the report carefully. All you need to do is make sure you do not disturb or damage the material. It is safe if you do not damage it.
