Asbestos Refurbishment Survey

An asbestos refurbishment survey is required if you are planning to refurbish or demolish a building that was constructed before 2000. The survey is carried out by our team of experts who will:

• Identify all ACMs that might be disturbed during the refurbishment or demolition work.
• Assess the condition of each ACM.
• Make recommendations for how to remove or manage each ACM, based on its risk level.

The results of the survey are documented in a comprehensive report, which will help you comply with health and safety regulations and protect the health of people involved in the work.

Samples Collection: How It Works

If you need asbestos testing, our team of experts will visit your property to collect samples. Here is how the process works:

• We will identify the materials that need to be tested and explain the process to you.
• We will take the necessary safety precautions to avoid causing any harm to anyone during the collection.
• We will take a small sample of the material using a specialized tool that minimizes dust and fibers release.
• We will seal the sample in a container and label it with a unique identifier.
• We will transport the sample to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.
• We will provide you with the results of the analysis as soon as they become available.

We understand that waiting for asbestos testing results can be stressful, especially if you suspect that your property might contain a high level of asbestos. That's why we strive to deliver the results as soon as possible, without compromising the accuracy of the analysis.

Asbestos Material: What to Do If It Contains Asbestos

If the material being tested contains asbestos, it needs to be managed or removed carefully, to avoid releasing asbestos fibers into the air. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we can provide you with a range of services to manage or remove asbestos safely, including:

• Encapsulation: This involves applying a sealant or coating to the ACM to prevent the release of asbestos fibers.
• Enclosure: This involves building a structure around the ACM to prevent the release of asbestos fibers.
• Removal: This involves removing the ACM and disposing of it safely in a licensed facility.

Our team of asbestos removal experts has years of experience and can ensure that the ACM is removed or managed in compliance with all the relevant health and safety regulations.

May Contain Asbestos: What You Should Do

If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, it is best to treat it as though it does until you have had it tested. Here are some things you should do if you suspect a material may contain asbestos:

• Don't panic: Asbestos is dangerous only if the fibers are released into the air and then inhaled or ingested.
• Don't touch or disturb the material: Any disturbance can release asbestos fibers into the air.
