Asbestos is a dangerous and potentially deadly material that was commonly used in construction until it was banned in the UK in 1999. It can be found in a wide range of building materials such as insulation, flooring, roofing and walls. Asbestos poses a risk to health when it is disturbed, as small fibres are released into the air which can be inhaled. These fibres can cause a range of illnesses, including the life-threatening cancer, mesothelioma.

Therefore, it is important to get any asbestos-containing materials removed from your building as soon as possible to ensure the safety of everyone who uses it.
