Welcome to Heal Your Home, the podcast dedicated to ensuring your home environment is safe, healthy, and efficient.

I'm your host, Jason Ratcliffe MSc, BA (Hons), AssocRICS, the home health expert.

It's my goal to ensure you're equipped with all the knowledge you need to be safe and happy with your own home. It doesn't matter if you're a homeowner, a renting tenant, or a landlord, my aim is the same - to help you get the best from the property.

In this episode, titled "Asbestos - a Silent Killer," we're looking into the pervasive and often overlooked dangers of asbestos in UK homes.

We start by shedding light on what asbestos is, why it was widely used, and the serious health risks it poses when disturbed.

Also, joining us in the episode is Lisa from Smart Estate Agents.

Lisa provides us with insightful advice on the home buying process.

We also tackle a listener's question from Colin in Newquay about handling bathroom condensation, and offer vital tenant tips for managing household moisture to prevent mould.

This episode is packed with essential information every homeowner and renter should know.
