Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that was extensively used in the UK from the 1950s until the late 1990s. It was used for a wide range of applications, including construction materials such as insulation boards, fireproofing, and cement sheets. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, they can release harmful fibres into the air, which, when inhaled, can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If you have recently discovered asbestos in your property or are planning to carry out any renovation or demolition work and suspect that there may be asbestos-containing materials present, you must get in touch with a licensed asbestos disposal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire.
