What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with robust fireproofing characteristics. It's been known to humans for thousands of years but it was only during the 20th century that it began to be used to create fireproof building products.
These asbestos-containing products, such as asbestos cement, pipe and wall insulation and ceiling tiles were then installed in countless homes across the UK. Almost from the start of large-scale asbestos mining, however, there were rumblings of its dangers, but these were largely ignored by both businesses and the government.
Toward the end of the century, the mountain of evidence pointing to the negative health effects of asbestos could no longer be ignored and the government imposed a ban on asbestos in 1999. But that ban did nothing to address the asbestos already installed in homes nationwide.

Why Asbestos Removal is so Important
According to the UK Health & Safety Executive, approximately 5,000 UK residents died last year alone from asbestos-related illnesses. In addition, the older asbestos-containing products get, the more dangerous they become because they break down and start releasing the deadly fibres. And finally, because removing it will make your home healthier and likely increase its value.
