We are here for all you Asbestos Removal needs in Middle Taphouse, Cornwall.
Asbestos has been a popular construction material for over a century, primarily because it is resistant to heat, electricity, and chemicals. It was also used to enhance the strength of building materials such as cement, plaster, and insulation. However, it wasn't until the 1970s that the true dangers of asbestos became apparent as exposure to its fibers proved to cause illnesses such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
The use of asbestos in construction was eventually banned in many countries, including the UK in 1999. However, due to the widespread use of asbestos in buildings constructed prior to the ban, the risk of exposure remains high to those who live or work in these spaces. Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon is a company that offers asbestos removal services in Middle Taphouse and surrounding areas.
Before understanding why asbestos removal is necessary, it's important to understand what asbestos is. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in rock formations including in some parts of Europe, North America, and Australia. It is made up of microscopic fibers that are strong, durable and heat-resistant. Asbestos fibers can be easily released into the air and when inhaled, enter the lungs and cause serious illnesses.
Asbestos was commonly used in several construction materials including insulation, fireproofing, ceiling tiles, and roofing sheets. When asbestos-containing materials are left undisturbed, there is little risk of exposure. However, when these materials are damaged, cut, or drilled, the asbestos fibers become airborne and pose a danger to anyone in the area.
