Asbestos-containing backboards were frequently installed behind electric meters in both residential and commercial buildings as a protective measure.
Artex / Popcorn Ceilings and Walls (Textured Coating)

Older roofing, cladding, and drainage systems may still contain asbestos cement, commonly used in garages, barns, and pipework.
Floor Tiles
Asbestos-based floor tiles were a standard feature in many commercial and domestic properties, offering durability but now requiring careful handling.

ermiculite was widely used in homes and commercial buildings for insulation, particularly in lofts and enclosed wall cavities, but may contain asbestos fibers.
