Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous material that was commonly used in building materials until it was banned in the UK in 1999 due to its health risks. Asbestos is still found in many buildings, particularly those constructed before the 1980s. When asbestos-containing material is disturbed, it releases fibers into the air, which can cause serious health problems when inhaled.

Asbestos materials are commonly found in roofing, insulation, ceiling tiles, and other building materials. If you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is important to have it removed by a professional asbestos removal company to safeguard the health of the building occupants.
