Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

If you're a property owner in Devon, it's essential to understand the importance of asbestos surveys. Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in building construction until the late 1990s. If your property was built before this time, it's likely to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). To protect the health and safety of occupants, regular asbestos surveys are crucial.

Asbestos surveys are necessary to identify the presence of ACMs in your property. These materials can be found in various forms, including insulation, roofing, and flooring. If ACMs are disturbed or damaged, they can release asbestos fibres into the air, posing a significant risk to human health. By conducting regular asbestos surveys, you can identify potential risks and take steps to mitigate them.

In the UK, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires property owners to manage asbestos risks in their buildings. This includes conducting regular asbestos surveys to identify and assess the condition of ACMs. The regulations also require property owners to develop an asbestos management plan, which outlines the measures to be taken to manage asbestos risks.

The frequency of asbestos surveys depends on the type of property and the condition of the ACMs. As a general rule, asbestos surveys should be conducted every 6-12 months, or as recommended by a qualified asbestos surveyor. If you're planning to renovate or demolish a building, an asbestos survey should be conducted before work begins.

An asbestos survey typically involves a visual inspection of the property to identify potential ACMs. The surveyor will also take samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos, which are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The surveyor will provide a detailed report outlining the location and condition of ACMs, as well as recommendations for managing asbestos risks.
