Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and building materials throughout the UK until it was banned in 1999. However, many buildings built before this time still contain asbestos materials that can pose health risks to occupants.

Asbestos is a hazardous substance when it is disturbed and its fibres are released into the air. If inhaled, these fibres can cause serious diseases including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, it is important to identify and safely remove any asbestos-containing materials from your home or workplace.
