What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used for its heat-resistant properties in the construction industry. It was widely used in the UK until it was banned in 1999 due to its association with serious health problems.

Asbestos can be found in many forms, including chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. These forms are often referred to as "types" of asbestos.

Types of Asbestos

Chrysotile, also known as white asbestos, was the most commonly used form of asbestos in the UK. It was used for a wide range of products, including cement, insulation, and textiles.

Amosite, also known as brown asbestos, was often used to insulate boilers and pipes. It was also used for construction materials such as ceiling tiles and insulation board.

Crocidolite, also known as blue asbestos, is the most dangerous form of asbestos. It was commonly used in the manufacture of insulation, but its use was banned in the UK in 1985.

Asbestos Cement

Asbestos cement is a type of building material that contains asbestos. Asbestos cement products were commonly used for roofing tiles, water mains, and drainage pipes.

Asbestos cement can be identified by its grey, hard, and brittle appearance. It is important to note that asbestos cement does not pose a significant risk to health unless it is disturbed or damaged, as this can release asbestos fibres into the air.

Asbestos removal should only be carried out by a licensed and qualified asbestos removal company, such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex. Attempting to remove asbestos yourself can be extremely dangerous, as it can release asbestos fibres into the air.
