Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in building materials due to its strength, durability, and fire-resistant properties. Asbestos can be found in a variety of materials, including:

• Insulation
• Flooring
• Ceiling tiles
• Roofing materials
• Pipes and ducts
• Cement products
• Textured paints

When these materials are disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and easily inhaled, leading to serious health issues such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. This is why its crucial to have any asbestos-containing materials in your Hangleton property removed by a professional asbestos removal company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire.
