Asbestos in the Home

Asbestos was commonly used in properties from the 1950s to the 1980s.

If you plan to move to the Hull area or are relocating within Hull, you would be wise to have the property checked for asbestos, whether it’s a commercial property or a house.

And seeing the birth of the Asbestos Licenced Contractor in effect, they needed a license to work with a prohibited substance.

1999: Chrysotile (White Asbestos) was banned in 1999. A total ban on any asbestos being used in the UK. This means it is illegal to buy, sell or trade any Asbestos product in the Uk (Including giving it away).
