Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in a variety of construction materials, including insulation, roofing, cement, and flooring. It was used for its excellent insulating properties, strength, and resistance to heat and chemicals. However, asbestos is now known to be harmful, and exposure can cause health problems, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

For this reason, asbestos testing in Abbotskerswell is essential. If you live in an older building or own a commercial property, you should have an asbestos survey to determine if materials in your building contain asbestos. It is not always easy to identify asbestos visually, and the only way to be sure is through asbestos testing.
