The highly toxic material asbestos was once widely used in the construction industry due to its insulating properties, durability and affordability. However, it was discovered that asbestos fibers were linked to various life-threatening illnesses, such as lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. If you suspect that your building or property may contain asbestos, its crucial to get it tested and removed immediately to avoid any health risks.

Asbestos was officially banned in the UK in 1999, but many buildings constructed before that time may still contain the hazardous material. Thats why its important to have a proper asbestos survey conducted by a professional testing company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
