Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a property owner in Devon, it's essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building. Asbestos was widely used in construction until the late 1990s, and it's estimated that millions of buildings in the UK still contain ACMs. To manage these risks, regular asbestos condition surveys are crucial. But how frequently should these surveys be carried out?

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires duty holders to identify and manage ACMs in their properties. This includes conducting regular asbestos surveys to assess the condition and risk of ACMs. The regulations also require duty holders to maintain an asbestos register, which should be updated whenever new information becomes available. In Devon, it's essential to work with a licensed asbestos removal company, like 1st Choice Asbestos, to ensure compliance with these regulations.

The frequency of asbestos condition surveys depends on various factors, including the type of ACMs present, their condition, and the level of risk they pose. As a general rule, asbestos surveys should be carried out:

• Every 6-12 months for high-risk ACMs, such as those in poor condition or in areas with high foot traffic
• Every 1-2 years for medium-risk ACMs, such as those in good condition but in areas with moderate foot traffic
• Every 2-5 years for low-risk ACMs, such as those in good condition and in areas with low foot traffic

Regular asbestos condition surveys can help you:

• Identify potential risks and take proactive measures to manage them
• Comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
• Maintain a safe and healthy environment for occupants and visitors
• Avoid costly repairs and removals by identifying ACMs early
• Ensure your asbestos register is up-to-date and accurate

When you hire a licensed asbestos removal company, like 1st Choice Asbestos, to conduct an asbestos condition survey, you can expect:

• A thorough inspection of your property to identify ACMs
• A risk assessment to determine the level of risk posed by ACMs
• A detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations for management and removal
• A updated asbestos register to ensure compliance with regulations
