Asbestos is a hazardous material that was commonly used in construction materials until the 1980s. Although it was banned in the UK in 1999, many older buildings still contain asbestos. Asbestos can pose a serious health hazard if it is disturbed and the fibers are inhaled. It can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other respiratory diseases. If your building was constructed before the year 2000, then there is a chance that it contains asbestos.

Asbestos removal is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone who lives or works in a building that contains this material. The process involves identifying any asbestos-containing materials, removing them, and disposing of them safely. Asbestos removal should only be carried out by trained professionals, as the process can be dangerous if not done correctly.
