Before delving into the specifics of asbestos removal costs, it is important to understand the potential dangers of asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials throughout the 20th century because of its durability, heat resistance, and excellent insulation properties. However, it is now known to be highly toxic and can cause serious health issues such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma when the fibres are breathed in over time.

Despite the risks associated with asbestos, many older buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials, such as insulation, flooring, and ceiling tiles. If you're unsure about whether your building contains asbestos, you may need to have an asbestos surveyor assess your property. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire, we can provide a thorough survey of your building to identify any asbestos-containing materials that need to be removed.
