Are you considering removing an asbestos ceiling in your Devon property yourself? If so, you need to understand the risks involved and ensure you are taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself and others.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we are a specialist asbestos removal company providing safe and affordable asbestos removal services across Devon and South West England. In this landing page, we will explain why asbestos is dangerous, the risks of removing asbestos without professional help, and why you should choose our services for asbestos removal in Devon.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral that was widely used in construction materials until it was banned in the UK in 1999. It was used because of its insulation and heat resistance qualities, as well as its strength and durability. However, asbestos has since been linked to a range of serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Asbestos can be found in a range of building materials, including ceilings, walls, floors, pipes, and roofs. It is difficult to identify the presence of asbestos without professional help, as it can be hidden behind other materials and it is often mixed with other materials.

The Risks of Removing Asbestos Yourself

Removing asbestos is a dangerous and risky task that should only be carried out by a qualified professional. If you try to remove asbestos yourself, you could be exposing yourself and others to asbestos fibres, which can cause serious health problems.

Asbestos fibres are released into the air when asbestos is disturbed or broken. This means that if you remove an asbestos ceiling yourself, you will be releasing dangerous fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause severe health problems.

In addition to the health risks, removing asbestos yourself can also be illegal. Asbestos removal is heavily regulated in the UK, and you need to have the necessary training, experience, and equipment to carry out the work safely and legally.

If you are caught removing asbestos without professional help, you could face fines or even imprisonment.
