Asbestos is a material that was once commonly used in construction, but has since been banned in the UK due to its health risks. Asbestos-containing materials were used in a wide variety of applications, including roofing, insulation, flooring, and more.

The problem is that if these materials are damaged, they can release asbestos fibers into the air. When these fibers are inhaled, they can lead to serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Asbestos is especially dangerous when it is disturbed, whether by accidental damage or intentional removal. Therefore, the removal process should only be carried out by a licensed and experienced asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
