Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials until the 1980s. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, such as during renovation or demolition work, the fibers can become airborne and inhaled. This can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Many buildings in Flowers Green and across East Sussex were built before the 1980s and may still contain asbestos-containing materials. These can include ceiling tiles, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and more. If you suspect that you may have asbestos in your home or business, it's important to have it identified and removed by a professional asbestos removal company.
