Asbestos

Asbestos was commonly used in the manufacture of residential building materials from the mid-1940s until the late 1980s.

There is a lot of misconception of the dangers actually surrounding the inhalation of asbestos. 

Provided the asbestos is dealt with in a safe manner, it is of very little danger to health.

While a building permit is not required for the removal of asbestos, there is a legal responsibility when building or renovating to ensure asbestos is safely removed and disposed of.
