Asbestos Removal in Cobham

Best known for its aviation and motor industries, Cobham is also home to the red-brick water mill on the River Mole. The present Cobham Mill stands on the site of earlier mills dating back to the Middle Ages; it worked until 1928 and is now grade II listed. The town has had its share of familiar faces too, among them the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, Westlife's Shane Filan and the actress Nichola McAuliffe.

So why is asbestos treated so seriously? It is a naturally occurring mineral made up of soft, flexible fibres, and its resistance to heat, electricity and corrosion once made it a prized insulator. The problem is that exposure is highly toxic. Breathe in or swallow the fibres and they can lodge in the body for good, where they are linked to a number of diseases, including mesothelioma, a cancer caused almost exclusively by asbestos. It is also associated with ovarian and laryngeal cancer, and trapped fibres can cause inflammation, scarring and genetic damage.
