Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials until the 1980s. When disturbed or aged, asbestos fibers are released into the air and pose serious health risks to anyone who breathes them in.

Symptoms of asbestos-related illnesses may not appear for many years after exposure, making it difficult to diagnose and treat. Common asbestos-related diseases include lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. It is also important to note that children are particularly vulnerable to asbestos exposure and could develop related illnesses decades later.

Therefore, it is critical that schools in School House and all around Dorset and South West England, work with asbestos removal experts like us to reduce the risk of asbestos exposure for students, teachers, and staff.
