Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry between the 1950s and the 1980s. It was particularly popular in Churchwood, and other areas of West Sussex, and South East England, thanks to its insulation properties and resistance to heat and fire. Unfortunately, asbestos poses a significant health risk when it is disturbed, releasing airborne particles that can be inhaled and cause severe respiratory problems.

Asbestos is often found in buildings in a variety of materials, including:

• Insulation materials such as loose fibers, pipe insulation, and sprayed-on insulation
• Ceiling tiles and floor tiles
• Roofing materials
• Cement sheets
• Electrical equipment, such as switchboards
