Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials and construction products for many years. It was used because of its insulating properties, durability, and resistance to heat and fire. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can be inhaled and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Exposure to asbestos can occur in a variety of ways, including through demolition or renovation work, but also from simply living or working in a building that contains asbestos-containing materials. The problem is that asbestos can be difficult to detect, as it was used extensively in construction until the 1980s.

That is why it is so important to have a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon carry out an asbestos survey of your building. This will enable us to determine the presence of asbestos and recommend the most suitable course of action to remove it.
