Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials from the 1940s until the late 1990s. It was used because of its unique properties such as being lightweight, strong, and resistant to heat and electricity. However, it was later discovered that asbestos exposure can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is important to take action immediately. Asbestos exposure can occur through inhalation of asbestos fibres, which can remain dormant in the body for many years before causing serious health problems. It is important to ensure that any asbestos-containing materials are removed from your property to reduce the risk of exposure.
