Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry during the 20th century due to its heat-resistant and insulating properties. However, it was later found to be a health hazard, causing diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Although the UK banned the import and use of blue and brown asbestos in 1985, white asbestos was only fully banned in 1999. As a result, many buildings constructed before this period may still contain asbestos, particularly those built between 1950 and 1980.

It is crucial to identify and manage any presence of asbestos in your property to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those living or working in the building. This is where Affordable Asbestos Removal Hampshire comes in.
