How Safe Is Asbestos Removal in Devon?

Welcome to Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon. We are a trusted asbestos removal company serving Devon and its surrounding areas. Our expertise in asbestos removal involves both commercial and residential properties, and we have worked extensively in both the public and private sectors. In this landing page, we will discuss what asbestos is, the potential health implications of asbestos exposure, our services and expertise, and steps to ensure safe asbestos removal.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally in the earth. It was commonly used in building materials until the 1980s when it was discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers could cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos was used in a vast array of materials, from floor and ceiling tiles to insulation and roofing products.

Potential Health Implications of Asbestos Exposure

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne, making them easy to inhale. Over time, lung tissue can become scarred, leading to health issues such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Therefore, it is important to always ensure that asbestos-containing materials are handled with care.

Asbestos-Containing Materials

Asbestos-containing materials are generally classified into two categories: friable and non-friable. Friable asbestos-containing materials are those that are easily crumbled by hand and can release asbestos fibers into the air when disturbed. Non-friable asbestos-containing materials are those that are unlikely to release asbestos fibers unless they are disturbed by sawing or sanding.

Asbestos Removal

Asbestos can be present in various materials, including tiles, flooring, and insulation. Our team of contractors is highly trained and experienced in removing asbestos-containing materials from your home or business safely. The type of asbestos-containing material and the amount present determine the methods employed for removal. Our team follows strict guidelines to ensure proper handling and disposal of asbestos waste.

Fire Resistant Building Materials

Fire-resistant building materials were used in buildings across the UK, including Devon, from the mid to late 20th century. Such materials contained asbestos, and removal poses the same health risks as other asbestos-containing materials.
