Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used extensively in the construction of buildings and other structures in the UK until the late 1990s. This versatile material was valued for its heat-resistant properties, durability, and versatility, and was used in everything from insulation and ceiling tiles to pipes and roofing materials.

Unfortunately, asbestos has been linked to a number of serious health problems, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Once asbestos-containing materials begin to deteriorate, they can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and cause significant health problems. For this reason, it is essential to identify and remove any asbestos-containing materials in your property to protect the health and safety of all occupants.
