When encountering asbestos, it generally tends to be within parts of a property like ceiling tiles, floor tiles, pipe insulation and cement sheets installed between the 1950s until the 1990s. The discovery that the dangerous fibres in asbestos containing material cause fatal lung diseases from inhalation led to its banning in use in 1999. As asbestos products come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes, it can be very hard to identify them due to the manufacturing process used and the variety of uses.
