Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with properties that lent itself to widespread use in construction, insulation, and other industrial applications throughout the 20th century. Unfortunately, it wasn't until much later that researchers and public health officials discovered the catastrophic effects that asbestos exposure can have on human health, including several types of cancer, respiratory problems, and other life-threatening diseases.

In response to the growing awareness of asbestos's hazards, numerous laws and regulations have been put into place in the UK and in many other countries to regulate the handling, disposal and recycling of this hazardous substance. This means that it is essential to find a professional and experienced asbestos disposal company to dispose of or remove any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) found on your property.
