Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and other industries due to its heat and chemical resistance, durability, and low cost. However, it was later discovered that exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. As a result, it has been banned in many countries including the UK since 1999.

If your property was built before 2000, it's likely that asbestos-containing materials were used in some parts of the building such as roofing, insulation, flooring, and pipes. Even if the material is intact and not damaged, it can release asbestos fibers into the air when disturbed, which can be inhaled and cause health problems.

To protect yourself, your family, and your employees from the dangers of asbestos, it's crucial to have it properly disposed of by a professional asbestos disposal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire.
