Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a property owner in Devon, it's natural to have concerns about the safety of your building. One of the most significant risks to health and wellbeing is asbestos, a hazardous material that was widely used in construction until the 1990s. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're dedicated to helping you manage this risk and create a safe environment for everyone.

Asbestos is a group of minerals that were prized for their durability and fire-resistant properties. However, when asbestos fibres are released into the air, they can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. The good news is that asbestos is relatively safe when it's intact and undisturbed. However, when it's damaged or deteriorating, it can pose a significant risk to health.

If you're a property owner in Devon, you have a legal duty to manage asbestos in your building. This means identifying where asbestos is present, assessing the risks, and taking steps to minimize those risks. An asbestos survey is the best way to do this. You'll need a survey if:

• You're planning to renovate or demolish a building that was constructed before the 1990s
• You're concerned about the presence of asbestos in your building
• You're selling or buying a property and want to ensure it's safe

The frequency of asbestos surveys depends on the type of building and the level of risk. As a general rule, you should have an asbestos survey every 6-12 months if you have a high-risk building, such as a school or hospital. For lower-risk buildings, such as domestic properties, a survey every 2-3 years may be sufficient. However, it's always best to consult with a qualified asbestos expert to determine the best survey schedule for your property.

During an asbestos survey, our team of experts will inspect your building to identify where asbestos is present. We'll assess the condition of the asbestos and determine the level of risk it poses. We'll also provide you with a detailed report and recommendations for managing the asbestos.
