Asbestos Removal in Woking

Asbestos has been known to humans for thousands of years. But it wasn't until about 100 years ago that its use took off. During much of the 20th century, asbestos was touted as something of a miracle mineral. It exhibited outstanding insulation properties and its fire-resistance was second to none. As a result, asbestos-containing products were installed in homes nationwide where many of them remain to this day.

The negative health effects of asbestos exposure were known, and largely ignored, during most of the mid-20th century when asbestos use was at its peak. Mining companies, manufacturers and lawmakers simply chose to look the other way in the face of the health evidence.
