Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you're planning to buy, sell, or renovate a property in Devon, it's essential to know whether a building survey checks for asbestos. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) can pose significant health risks, and it's crucial to identify them early on. In this article, we'll explore what a building survey entails and whether it includes asbestos checks.

A building survey is a comprehensive inspection of a property's condition, highlighting any defects, damage, or potential issues. It's usually conducted by a qualified surveyor who assesses the property's structure, including the roof, walls, floors, and foundations. The surveyor will also look for signs of dampness, cracks, and other problems that could affect the property's value or safety.

While a standard building survey may not specifically focus on asbestos, a good surveyor will look for signs of ACMs during the inspection. However, it's essential to note that a building survey is not a substitute for a dedicated asbestos survey. If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it's best to hire a specialist asbestos surveyor who can conduct a thorough risk assessment and provide recommendations for management or removal.

Asbestos was widely used in construction materials until the 1990s, and many properties in Devon still contain ACMs. Asbestos can be found in various forms, including roof tiles, insulation, textured ceilings, and pipe lagging. When asbestos is disturbed or damaged, it releases fibres that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, don't panic. The first step is to contact a qualified asbestos surveyor who can assess the risk and provide guidance on the best course of action.
