Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building products in the 20th century due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, it has since been discovered that asbestos can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, when its fibers are released into the air and inhaled.

If you own or manage a building that was constructed before the year 2000, it may contain asbestos materials. This is why it is important to have an asbestos survey conducted by a qualified and experienced asbestos survey company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
