Before we delve into the details of our asbestos removal services, it's crucial to understand why asbestos is such a significant hazard. Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that are resistant to heat, fire and many chemicals. Due to these properties, asbestos was commonly used in building materials, such as insulation, roofing materials, and ceiling tiles, before it was eventually banned in the UK in 1999.

Asbestos can cause multiple health problems, including mesothelioma, which is a rare and aggressive form of cancer, as well as lung cancer and asbestosis. These illnesses often develop decades after asbestos exposure, making it difficult to identify the source of the problem.
