Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry from the 1930s to the 1990s due to its heat-resistant and insulating properties. It was commonly used in buildings for insulation, roofing, and fireproofing.

However, asbestos has been found to be a highly dangerous material for human health. It can cause a number of respiratory illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Thus, the UK government has banned the use of asbestos in any form since 1999.

But what do you do if you still have asbestos in your building or property? The answer is simple: you need to have it removed!
