Asbestos Survey in Ashford
A high percentage of UK homes built during the 20th century had asbestos-containing products installed such as pipe insulation, ceiling tiles and countertops. After asbestos was banned in 1999 these sources of asbestos remained and it was left to companies like Asbestos Gone to remove them one home at a time. If you have reason to believe your home contains asbestos the smart thing to do is to call Asbestos Gone and schedule an asbestos survey in Ashford. The survey will determine if asbestos is present and recommend the best way to remove it.

No, the Asbestos Threat Has Not Passed
When the government banned the use of asbestos in new construction in 1999 a lot of people concluded the problem was solved and they wouldn't have to worry about asbestos anymore. Not so. In fact, asbestos installed in a home 50 years ago is likely more dangerous now than it was in 1999 when the ban took effect.
That's because asbestos-containing products represent virtually no threat when first installed. It's only after many years have passed and the insulation or tiles or whatever start to break down that asbestos fibres come loose and become airborne to be breathed in by the unsuspecting. Breathe in enough of these fibres over time and the result will be serious respiratory problems, including a form of cancer called mesothelioma which attacks the lining of the lungs.
