Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you're a homeowner or business owner in Devon, you may be wondering if you need a licence to remove chrysotile asbestos from your property. The answer is not a simple yes or no, as it depends on the type and quantity of asbestos present, as well as the method of removal. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to guide you through the process and help you understand the regulations surrounding asbestos removal in Devon.

Chrysotile asbestos is a type of asbestos that was commonly used in building materials, such as insulation, ceiling tiles, and garage roofs. It's a known carcinogen, which means that it can cause serious diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, if inhaled. If you suspect that your property contains chrysotile asbestos, it's essential to take action to prevent exposure to the fibres.

In the UK, the removal of chrysotile asbestos is regulated by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. If you're removing a small amount of asbestos-containing material (ACM), such as a single garage roof or a few ceiling tiles, you may not need a licence. However, if you're removing a large quantity of ACM or if the removal process is complex, you'll need to hire a licensed asbestos removal contractor like 1st Choice Asbestos. Our team of experts will assess the situation and advise you on the best course of action.

Identifying chrysotile asbestos can be tricky, as it's often hidden behind walls, in ceilings, or under floor tiles. If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it's essential to hire a professional to inspect the area and take a sample for analysis. If the sample is positive, our team will develop a removal plan that minimises the risk of fibre release and ensures a safe working environment. We'll seal off the area, wear protective clothing, and use disposable equipment to prevent contamination.
