 Asbestos has been a popular building material since the 1950s and was used extensively in the redevelopment of urban centres post war. It was used in approximately 4500 different building products.
Because asbestos is often mixed with another material, it's hard to know if you're working with it or not. But, if you work or live in a building built before the year 2000, it's likely that some parts of the building will contain asbestos.

How does this effect you?

Since the end of the Second World War one of the largest post war development schemes in 1955–6 embracing 57½ acres at Heathcote Road, Longton, on which 421 houses were to be built. Another aspect of redevelopment within the limits of the original six towns has been the reconditioning and modernization of houses otherwise structurally sound. The Housing Act (1949), empowered local authorities to make grants to landlords and owner-occupiers for modernizing their properties. In Stoke, where it was estimated that there were 20,000 houses in this category, up to 31 July 1957 735 grants had been made for the improvement of old houses.

Stoke-on-Trent is a city that is changing rapidly. Now home to 240,000 people, the city has been transformed, with millions of pounds invested to revitalise and improve all aspects of life in the city. Today Stoke is home to over 8,000 businesses and is the economic capital to the North Staffordshire and South Cheshire region.

It is estimated that 75% of commercial buildings still contain some asbestos (Llewellyn, BRE, 1997) potentially leaving a huge legacy of asbestos related problems and the potential risk of asbestos related diseases.
