Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction, insulation, and other industrial applications until its prohibition in 1999 in the UK. Since asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, it's essential to ensure that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are safely identified, removed, and disposed of by qualified professionals like Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire.

If your home or business in Nalderswood was built before 2000 or contains any ACMs, you may be at risk of exposure to asbestos fibers if the materials are disturbed or damaged. Some of the most common types of ACMs include:

• Roofing and siding sheets made of asbestos cement
• Floor tiles, adhesives, and backings containing asbestos fibers
• Insulation materials for pipes, furnaces, or boilers
• Asbestos-containing paints, coatings, and sealants
• Asbestos-containing gaskets, packing, and adhesives
• Asbestos-cement water storage tanks and flues

Since ACMs are often difficult to identify visually, it's crucial to hire a professional asbestos survey company to conduct a thorough inspection of your property and collect samples if necessary. Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire can provide a comprehensive asbestos survey and report that outlines any hazardous materials found on your property and outlines our recommended approach for asbestos removal and disposal.
