Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that is made up of tiny fibres. These fibres are resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals, and as such, were widely used in the UK construction industry until 1999. Asbestos can be found in many materials commonly found in homes, such as insulation, roofing, flooring, and pipes.

Exposure to asbestos can lead to serious health problems, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. The problem with asbestos is that it's not always easy to detect. Asbestos fibres are too small to be seen by the naked eye, and exposure to asbestos can occur through airborne particles.

This is why asbestos testing is so important. If you suspect that there may be asbestos in your home or building, it's essential to have an asbestos survey carried out by an experienced professional. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we offer a range of asbestos testing services, including asbestos surveys and asbestos sampling.
