Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

Asbestos was a widely used material in the UK, particularly in the construction industry, until its dangers became apparent. The use of asbestos in fibreboard, a type of building material, was common in the mid-20th century. However, as the risks associated with asbestos exposure became more widely understood, the UK government began to take steps to limit its use.

The UK banned the use of asbestos in 1999, with the introduction of the Asbestos (Prohibitions) Regulations. This ban prohibited the importation, supply, and use of asbestos-containing materials, including fibreboard. The ban was a significant step towards reducing the risks associated with asbestos exposure, but it did not address the issue of existing asbestos-containing materials in buildings.

In Devon, many homes and buildings constructed before the 1999 ban may still contain asbestos fibreboard. This poses a significant health risk to people living or working in these buildings, as asbestos fibres can be released into the air when the material is disturbed. Prolonged exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
