Big news! The Armed Forces lump sum compensation payment for veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma has risen from £140,000 to £185,000. We welcome this increase - but call for a full review of the scheme to ensure it's fair, up to date & meets the needs of those affected today.

It’s the first day of Spring...ready to jet wash?

High pressure water can damage asbestos-containing materials and release fibres that are harmful if inhaled.

See the quick guide for common examples of asbestos and where it can be found:
