Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction industry in the UK between the 1950s and 1980s. Its durability and heat-resistant properties made it a popular material for insulation and fireproofing. However, it was later discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Unfortunately, many buildings in Whitewood and across Surrey and South East England still contain asbestos today. If you suspect that your building may contain asbestos, it is crucial to get a professional asbestos survey and removal company to conduct a thorough inspection and removal process to protect yourself and others who may be at risk.
