Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been in use for centuries for its heat resistance, strength, and insulation properties. From the late 1800s, it was widely used in the construction industry in the UK until it was banned in 1999 due to its harmful effects on human health.

Asbestos contains fine fibres that, when inhaled, can remain in the lungs for years, causing scarring and inflammation, leading to diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

It is important to note that asbestos is not dangerous if it is left undisturbed. However, if it is damaged, cut, or drilled, it releases its fibres into the air, causing a severe health hazard.

That's where we come in. Our asbestos survey in Alfold Crossways is designed to identify any suspected asbestos-containing material in your property and determine if it poses a hazard to your health.
