Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner or business owner in Devon, you may be wondering if contractors are required to test for asbestos before starting a demolition or refurbishment project. The answer is yes, and it's crucial to understand why.

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in building construction until the 1990s. It can be found in various forms, including insulation, roofing, and flooring. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed, they release tiny fibres that can be inhaled, leading to serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. In Devon, many buildings constructed before the 1990s may still contain asbestos, making it essential to test for its presence before any renovation or demolition work begins.

According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, contractors and building owners have a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises. This includes identifying the presence of asbestos, assessing the risks, and taking steps to manage or remove it. In Devon, the county council and local authorities enforce these regulations, and failure to comply can result in fines and penalties.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of a building to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials. A trained surveyor will examine the property, taking samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis. The survey will identify the type and extent of asbestos present, as well as provide recommendations for its management or removal.
