Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that was widely used in the UK building industry between the 1950s and 1980s. It was used for its fire-resistant and insulating properties, and could be found in many building materials including insulation, ceiling tiles, cement, and pipe lagging.

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, microscopic fibres can be released into the air. Breathing in these fibres can lead to the development of serious lung diseases, as mentioned earlier.

If you suspect your property contains asbestos, it is essential to have a qualified professional assess the situation. Asbestos removal should only be carried out by licensed contractors who are equipped to safely remove and dispose of the material.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we offer a range of asbestos removal services, from initial surveys and testing, to safe removal and disposal of all asbestos materials. All our work is carried out in accordance with UK legislation and Health & Safety regulations.
