Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can be found in many different products, from insulation and floor tiles to roofing sheets and pipes. The danger lies in the microscopic fibres that can be released when these materials are damaged, disturbed or removed.

Exposure to asbestos can cause serious health problems, and not just for those who handled products containing asbestos directly. Even people who were simply present in a building where asbestos was present are at risk, as the fibres can stick to clothing and be inhaled later.

Fortunately, asbestos abatement is a well-established industry, and professional asbestos removal companies like Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex have the expertise, tools and equipment to safely remove asbestos from any property.
