Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in the construction industry for their insulating and fire-resistant properties until the mid-1980s. Unfortunately, asbestos is incredibly dangerous to human health, and long-term exposure can cause severe respiratory issues, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

The risks of asbestos exposure are particularly high in Shaldon, a coastal village located in Devon, South West England. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are frequently found in buildings constructed before the 1980s, such as houses, schools, hospitals, and factories.

If you're planning any renovation or demolition work on a building that was constructed before the 1980s, it's essential to have it surveyed by a qualified asbestos specialist. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we offer comprehensive asbestos surveys that can identify and evaluate any potential risks.
