What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with unique properties that make it resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals. Asbestos was extensively used in building and construction materials in the UK until the 1990s, when it was banned due to its health hazards. Asbestos can still be found in many older properties in Devon, including homes, schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings.

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are commonly found in the following areas of a property:

• Insulation
• Roofing tiles and shingles
• Ceiling tiles
• Floor tiles and adhesives
• Pipe and boiler insulation
• Textured coatings
• Vermiculite insulation
• Electrical wiring insulation

If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos, it's essential to have it inspected and tested by a professional asbestos surveyor. Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon can refer you to a qualified surveyor who will assess your property for the presence of asbestos and create an asbestos management plan.

Asbestos Removal Cost

Asbestos removal cost can vary depending on several factors, including the type and amount of asbestos, the location of the ACMs, the complexity of the removal process, and the size of the property. Asbestos removal cost is also affected by the disposal of the hazardous waste, which must be done in accordance with the hazardous waste regulations.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we offer competitive and transparent pricing for our asbestos removal services. We provide free, no-obligation quotes based on the findings of the asbestos survey and the scope of work required. Our pricing is inclusive of all labour, equipment, materials, and disposal costs, ensuring that our clients have no hidden fees or surprises.

Types of Asbestos Removal

There are two types of asbestos removal: licensed asbestos removal and non-licensed asbestos removal.

Licensed Asbestos Removal

Licensed asbestos removal is mandatory for all work involving high-risk asbestos-containing materials such as sprayed asbestos coatings, asbestos insulation board, and asbestos lagging. Licensed asbestos removal must be carried out by a licensed asbestos removal company such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, who have the necessary skills, training, and equipment to perform high-risk asbestos removal work safely and legally. Licensed asbestos removal involves the following steps:

• Carrying out an asbestos survey and risk assessment
• Planning the asbestos removal work
• Isolating the work area and preparing it for asbestos removal
• Wearing personal protective equipment
• Carefully removing the ACMs using specialist equipment and techniques
• Disposing of the hazardous waste in accordance with the regulations
• Conducting a final inspection and clearance test

Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal

Non-licensed asbestos removal applies to work involving low-risk asbestos-containing materials such as asbestos cement roofing sheets, floor tiles, and textured coatings. Non-licensed asbestos removal can be carried out by a competent person who has received adequate training and is proficient in the asbestos removal process. However, non-licensed asbestos removal work must still comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Non-licensed asbestos removal involves the following steps:

• Conducting an asbestos survey and risk assessment
• Planning the asbestos removal work
• Isolating the work area and preparing it for asbestos removal
• Wearing personal protective equipment
• Removing the ACMs using hand tools such as sprayers or scrapers
• Disposing of the hazardous waste in accordance with the regulations
• Conducting a final inspection and clearance test
