Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in a variety of building materials during the 20th century. Although asbestos has many useful properties, such as its fire resistance and strength, it is also highly toxic and can cause a number of serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

In Berwick and the surrounding areas, asbestos can be found in a variety of materials, including insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, roofing, and siding. If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is important to have it tested and properly managed by a qualified asbestos survey company.
