The dangers of asbestos are widely recognised today, and this means that asbestos removal should only be completed by professionals.

​

Most demolition projects involve the removal of asbestos.  So where is asbestos most commonly found?

​

• Interior walls and ceilings most commonly in wet areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry.

• Other concealed areas such as linen cupboards, under floor coverings and fireplaces.

​​
