Samples and Analysis

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we take samples of any suspected asbestos-containing materials from the building or structure, send these samples to a UKAS accredited laboratory for testing. The laboratory analysis of the samples determines the presence of asbestos and the type of asbestos present in the sample.

The lab analysis can be done in various ways, depending on the type of material and the type of asbestos present. The analysis results will help us to determine the best course of action to take to remove or contain the asbestos containing material.

May I have Asbestos in My Property?

Many buildings and structures, including those in Huxham's Cross Estate, were built during a time when asbestos was widely used in construction. Asbestos can be found in many materials, including:

• Ceiling Tiles
• Insulation
• Pipes
• Bricks
• Cement Sheet
• Vinyl Floor Tiles
• Roofing Materials

It is possible that these materials contain asbestos, especially if they were constructed before the year 2000. If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it is crucial that you contact a professional asbestos testing company like Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon. We can help you identify any materials that contain asbestos and provide you with a detailed report of our findings.

The Importance of Asbestos Testing

Asbestos is a dangerous substance that can cause a range of serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. These diseases can take years to develop, and people who are exposed to asbestos may not experience any symptoms until decades after exposure.

Asbestos testing is an essential step in protecting the health and safety of building occupants, contractors, and anyone else who may come into contact with asbestos-containing materials. By identifying materials that contain asbestos, we can develop a plan to remove or contain these materials, ensuring that they do not pose a risk to human health.
