Types of Asbestos Found in Galway Properties
There are three types of asbestos commonly found in Galway properties: chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), and crocidolite (blue asbestos).

Important for Galway Coastal Properties
Properties near Galway Bay (Salthill, Galway Docks, coastal Connemara) experience accelerated asbestos deterioration due to salt air exposure. Even non-friable asbestos cement can become friable faster in coastal environments, increasing health risks. If you own a coastal property in Galway, we recommend our professional asbestos survey to determine if immediate removal or encapsulation is required.
