Useful Information on Asbestos

What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in a range of building materials to make them more rigid and fire resistant. It has also been used in household products such as ironing boards and oven gloves.

Asbestos was used extensively as a building material in Great Britain from the 1950s through to the mid 1980s.

Removing asbestos from your home

If you do choose to remove the non-licensable asbestos materials yourself it will help if you take the following precautions:

• wear a dust mask approved for asbestos;
• wear a disposable overall
• keep other people away from the working area;
• wet the material well with water containing a little washing up liquid; check that there is no potential for contact with electricity first;
• always remove whole sheets or components; do not break them up
• place any loose or small items in strong plastic labelled bags and seal;
• clean up all dust with a damp cloth and then seal it in a plastic bag whilst damp;
• do not use a domestic vacuum cleaner as dust may pass through the filter.
