Does an Asbestos Survey Need to be Carried Out Yearly in Devon?

If you're a property owner in Devon, it's natural to have concerns about asbestos in your building. Asbestos can be a significant health risk if not handled properly, which is why it's essential to understand the regulations surrounding asbestos surveys. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to help you navigate the process and ensure your property is safe for occupants.

Understanding Asbestos Surveys in Devon

An asbestos survey is a crucial step in identifying and managing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your property. The survey involves a thorough inspection of the building to locate and assess the condition of ACMs. Our team of experienced surveyors will take samples of suspected ACMs and send them to a laboratory for analysis. The results will help us create a comprehensive report outlining the presence, location, and condition of ACMs in your property.

How Often Should an Asbestos Survey be Carried Out?

The frequency of asbestos surveys depends on the type of property and its intended use. For example, if you're planning to refurbish or demolish a building, you'll need to conduct an asbestos survey before starting the project. In Devon, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires property owners to manage asbestos in their buildings. While there's no strict rule for yearly surveys, it's recommended to review and update your asbestos management plan every 12 months or when there are changes to the building's use or occupancy.
