Asbestos is a dangerous material that can cause serious health problems if inhaled or ingested. It was once commonly used in building materials due to its heat-resistant properties, but is now banned in the UK due to the health risks it poses.

If your building contains asbestos, its important to have it removed as soon as possible. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, tiny fibres can be released into the air. These fibres can then be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
