Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction materials in the past due to its strength, durability, and fire-resistant properties. However, it was later discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause serious respiratory diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. As a result, asbestos has been banned in many countries including the UK.

If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it is important to get it tested and removed by a professional asbestos removal company. Asbestos must be disposed of properly as it is a hazardous substance and can pose a serious health risk to anyone who comes into contact with it.
