Asbestos Removal from A.R.Richards
Asbestos was banned from use in the late 20th century but previously it was widely used in the construction industry to build homes and businesses which are still standing and in use today. Additionally it is found in a number of old Agricultural Buildings. It’s safe to work or live in a building with asbestos as long as it remains undisturbed. When broken the asbestos releases fine fibres into the atmosphere, they can then be inhaled and don’t break down in the body, this can be very dangerous.Â
