Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials due to its heat-resistant properties. However, prolonged exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. As a result, the use of asbestos in construction was banned in the UK in 1999.

Despite this ban, many older buildings in Crosswater and the surrounding areas still contain asbestos. If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is essential to have it removed and disposed of safely and efficiently. Failure to do so can result in significant health risks, as well as legal and financial consequences.
