What Happens to Asbestos When It's Removed in Sussex: A Comprehensive Guide by Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex

Asbestos was a widely used material in the construction industry until the 1980s, when it was discovered that exposure to asbestos fibers can cause some severe health problems. The use of asbestos in the UK is no longer permitted. However, asbestos still exists in many old buildings and structures.

The removal of asbestos is not a simple task, and it requires specialized knowledge and training. Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex is a leading company that offers asbestos removal services in Sussex and surrounding areas. Our skilled and licensed team is equipped to handle any asbestos-related project, from small residential jobs to larger commercial and industrial projects.

Asbestos: What it is and Why It's Dangerous

Asbestos is a group of minerals that are naturally occurring and were widely used in the construction industry. Asbestos was used in many building materials, including roof tiles, insulation, flooring, and pipes. Its exceptional heat and fire-resistant qualities made it an ideal material for many purposes.

Asbestos exposure can lead to several health problems, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, while asbestosis is a chronic lung condition that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

Although asbestos use in the construction industry was banned in the UK in 1999, asbestos still exists in many old buildings and structures. Hence, it becomes necessary to remove asbestos from such structures to minimize the risk of potential exposure.
