If you own or manage a property in Reading, ensuring a safe environment is crucial. One hidden threat that can pose serious health risks is asbestos. Even though its use has been banned in the UK, asbestos remains present in many buildings constructed before the year 2000. That’s where professional Asbestos Removal in Reading becomes essential.
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral once widely used in construction for its durability, fire resistance, and insulation properties. It was commonly found in ceiling tiles, floorboards, pipe insulation, and roofing materials. While intact asbestos may not be immediately harmful, damaged or disturbed asbestos fibers can be released into the air, posing serious health risks, including lung disease and cancer.

Handling asbestos without proper training and equipment is extremely dangerous. Professional removal services, like those offered by AAC Ltd, ensure that asbestos is safely identified, contained, and disposed of in line with UK regulations.
