19.01.2022 Many people aren't aware that it is common to find asbestos in older bathrooms (pre-1990). If you're thinking of creating a great new space, make sure you get an asbestos assessor to check for asbestos before you start to protect both you and your family. Remember that you have a legal responsibility not to harm those around you.
