Asbestos Survey in Southend-on-Sea
Customer Reviews
Although asbestos was banned by the UK government more than a quarter century ago it continues to pose a significant health threat. If you are sceptical of that statement consider that according to the UK Health and Safety Executive some 5,000 UK residents died from asbestos-related illness last year and a similar number are expected to die this year. If you suspect you have asbestos in your Essex home contact Asbestos Gone and arrange an asbestos survey in Southend-on-Sea.
Many people are under the impression asbestos is a manmade material. Not so. Asbestos is a naturally occurring, fibrous mineral that is accessed by mining. Asbestos was first discovered by humans thousands of years ago and was immediately recognized for its robust heat resistance. But it was hard for ancients to find and mine and, as a result, asbestos products were available only to those who could afford them, which wasn't many people. That all changed in the 19th century when large-scale mining and manufacturing of asbestos-containing products took off. During the 20th century, those products wound up in millions of UK homes where they remain to this day. It's up to experts like the team at Asbestos Gone to remove those asbestos products one home at a time.
