Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in construction and flooring materials in the past. If you're a homeowner or property manager in Caerphilly, it's essential to test for asbestos in your flooring to ensure the health and safety of occupants.

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were commonly used in flooring materials, such as vinyl tiles, linoleum, and asphalt-based flooring. These materials were popular due to their durability and resistance to heat and fire. However, when disturbed or damaged, they can release asbestos fibers, posing a significant health risk.

Testing for asbestos in flooring is crucial to identify potential health risks and ensure compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. If you're planning to renovate or remove flooring materials, it's essential to test for asbestos first to avoid disturbing the material and releasing asbestos fibers.
