What Do Asbestos Disposal Companies Do With It in Devon?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used extensively in buildings throughout the 20th century due to its fire-resistant properties. However, it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems if inhaled, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. As a result, asbestos is now heavily regulated, and its removal and disposal are subject to strict guidelines.

Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon is a specialist asbestos disposal company based in Devon, South West England. In this landing page, we will explore the hazardous nature of asbestos, its disposal, and the services we offer to ensure safe and professional handling of asbestos waste in Devon.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a collective term used for a group of six naturally occurring silicate minerals that have been used commercially in insulation, fireproofing, and building materials due to their strength, heat resistance, and affordability. The six types of asbestos are chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite.

Asbestos fibers are very strong and heat-resistant, but they are also fragile and easily crumbled. When disturbed, asbestos fibers release into the air, which can be inhaled and cause health problems.

Hazardous Asbestos Waste

Demolition or renovation work on older buildings can release asbestos fibers into the air, which can pose a significant health risk. For example, when some insulation is removed or when ceilings are taken down during renovation, asbestos insulation can become exposed and release harmful dust and fibers into the air. Although asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, there are still millions of tonnes of asbestos-containing materials in buildings across the country.

Asbestos Waste Collection and Handling

Asbestos waste can only be disposed of at licensed sites since asbestos is classified as hazardous waste under UK environmental legislation. Asbestos must be collected and transported in special vehicles, and the waste packaging should meet the standards set out by the Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR 2012).

Asbestos disposal companies must have a license from the local authority in which they operate to handle and dispose of asbestos waste. The Environment Agency regulates and monitors these licensed asbestos disposal companies regularly.
