Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined in many places in the world. The material got its name from ‘asbestiform’ that describes the fibrous structure that gives it flexibility and strength. It was used extensively in the past in building materials before its UK ban in 1999. Prior to this, asbestos was in garages. It became clear that asbestos can cause serious damage to the lungs, causing diseases such as lung cancer and Mesothelioma. This is the reason for the UK wide ban in 1999.

However, garages  constructed or refurbed before the year 2000 have the possibility to still contain asbestos and should be presumed until proven otherwise. This being said The Garage Guys Ltd work alongside Asbestos experts and can arrange SAFE asbestos removal and disposal.
