Can a Survey Discover Asbestos in Devon?
If you're a homeowner, landlord, or property developer in Devon, it's essential to know whether your building contains asbestos. Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems if not handled correctly. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we provide comprehensive asbestos surveys to help you identify and manage asbestos in your property.
What is an Asbestos Survey?
An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your property to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Our team of experienced surveyors will examine your building, taking samples of materials that may contain asbestos. These samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Our surveys are designed to provide you with a clear understanding of the asbestos risks in your property, enabling you to make informed decisions about management and removal.
Why Do I Need an Asbestos Survey in Devon?
Asbestos was widely used in building materials until its ban in 1999. If your property was built or refurbished before this date, it's likely to contain asbestos. An asbestos survey is crucial for several reasons:
- To identify the presence of asbestos and assess its condition

- To develop a plan for managing or removing asbestos
- To ensure compliance with UK asbestos regulations
