Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used for centuries in various construction and industrial applications due to its unique properties, such as heat resistance, durability, and insulation. However, it has also been linked to serious health risks such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, among others.

Therefore, the UK government has imposed strict rules and regulations for the handling and disposal of asbestos, which are designed to protect the public and the environment from the hazards of asbestos exposure. Any property built before 2000 may contain ACMs, such as asbestos cement, insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and more. If you suspect that you have asbestos on your property, it is essential to get it tested by a licensed professional and, if confirmed, to get it removed and disposed of by an accredited asbestos disposal company like us.
