Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials between the 1950s and 1990s. Asbestos is widely recognized as a hazardous material due to its tiny fibers, which can get airborne and lodge in the lungs when inhaled. Prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to a range of health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If your Hamlet property was built or renovated between the 1950s and 1990s, there's a high chance that it contains asbestos materials. Some common asbestos-containing products include:

• Roofing materials
• Pipe lagging
• Insulation
• Cement sheets
• Floor tiles
• Textured coatings (e.g., Artex)

If you're unsure about the presence of asbestos materials in your property, we recommend you book a professional asbestos survey. Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon provides surveys to identify the presence and condition of asbestos-containing materials in your Hamlet property.
