Asbestos is a naturally occurring fiber that was widely used in the construction industry throughout the 20th century. It was prized for its strength, heat resistance, and insulating properties, but unfortunately, it was not until many years later that the true risks associated with exposure to asbestos became clear.

Asbestos exposure can cause a range of serious health problems, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. In fact, more than 5,000 people die each year in the UK due to asbestos-related diseases, a number that is expected to rise in the coming years.

For this reason, asbestos abatement and removal is a critical service that should only be performed by trained and qualified professionals like those at Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
