Before we delve into our asbestos disposal services, its important to understand what asbestos is and why it poses a significant hazard to human health and the environment.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction, manufacturing, and other industrial applications due to its durability, heat-resistant properties, and insulation capabilities. However, it was later discovered that exposure to asbestos fibers can cause a number of serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma (a rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs and abdomen), and asbestosis (a chronic lung disease caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers).

Because of its serious health risks, asbestos has been banned in many countries, including the UK. However, many older buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), such as insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and roofing materials, which must be properly removed and disposed of to prevent health hazards.
