Why Professional Asbestos Removal in Thatcham Matters
Asbestos was widely used in UK construction until its ban in 1999, found in insulation, ceilings, flooring, roofing, and pipework. While safe if left undisturbed, damaged asbestos releases microscopic fibres that can cause fatal diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and asbestos-related lung cancer.
Because of these risks, asbestos is strictly regulated under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). Handling or removing it requires trained, and in many cases non-licensed removal, professionals. DIY removal of high-risk materials is both illegal and unsafe. By choosing AAC Ltd for asbestos removal in Thatcham, you ensure compliance, safety, and complete peace of mind.
