Asbestos was a commonly used building material in the UK until the late 1990s, when it was banned due to its health risks. However, many buildings still contain asbestos, particularly those built before the 1980s. If you are planning any renovations or demolition on a property that contains asbestos, it's important to dispose of it safely and correctly.

Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems if inhaled, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. That's why it's so important to handle it with care and dispose of it responsibly.
