Asbestos Survey in Lewisham
Today, 25 years after its banning by the government, asbestos remains a threat to the health of millions of UK residents. That's because before it was banned asbestos containing products were installed in countless homes nationwide where they lurk to this day, slowly falling apart and releasing their potentially deadly fibres into the air. The only way to remove the threat is to have the asbestos removed, and that process starts with an asbestos survey in Lewisham.

What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is virtually impervious to heat and fire. It also happens to be quite malleable, making it useful in creating a range of products for the home including insulation, countertops, ceiling tiles, oven mitts, fire blankets and more.
Asbestos has been known to humans for thousands of years but until the late 19th century its use was extremely limited. That changed when manufacturers realised they could use asbestos to create the aforementioned building and household products and began mining asbestos on an industrial scale.
As the popularity of asbestos grew, so too did the evidence suggesting it might pose a significant health threat. After brushing aside this growing mountain of evidence for decades the UK government finally banned the use of asbestos in 1999, but by then it was already present in millions of homes.

As the years pass, the threat from asbestos only grows as asbestos containing products break down and begin releasing asbestos fibres into the air. In time those fibres can produce serious respiratory problems as well as mesothelioma, an aggressive form of cancer.
