Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in the construction industry due to its natural heat-resistant and insulating properties. Asbestos can be found in a variety of building materials, including roofing materials, insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and other products commonly used in homes, offices, and industrial buildings.

Although asbestos has since been banned in many countries, including the UK, many older buildings may still contain asbestos-containing materials. Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause a variety of serious health problems, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos exposure is especially dangerous for anyone who smokes or has a pre-existing respiratory condition. Therefore, it is essential to have a professional asbestos removal company such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire to carry out asbestos abatement if you suspect asbestos is present in any building.
