Asbestos is a material that was widely used in building construction in the past. It is a mineral that naturally occurs in the environment and has excellent insulation properties. However, it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, such as lung cancer and mesothelioma, when inhaled. This led to the ban of asbestos use in the UK in 1999.

Despite the ban, however, many buildings in the UK still contain asbestos materials. Such buildings include older homes, schools, and commercial buildings built before the 1990s. Asbestos is commonly found in insulation, roofing, and other building materials, and it is difficult to detect without a professional survey.

If you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is important to have it removed by a skilled and experienced professional. This is where Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire comes in.
