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 surveys are a crucial step in identifying and managing these risks, but how often do you need to have one conducted? At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're here to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your property.

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your property to identify the presence of ACMs. These materials were commonly used in construction before the 1990s and can be found in various forms, including insulation, roofing, and flooring. If left undisturbed, ACMs are generally not a risk to health. However, when asbestos is damaged or disturbed, it can release hazardous fibres into the air, posing a significant risk to human health. An asbestos survey helps identify the location, type, and condition of ACMs, enabling you to take necessary steps to manage the risk.

The frequency of asbestos surveys depends on various factors, including the age and condition of your property, the type of ACMs present, and the level of risk associated with them. As a general rule, it's recommended to have an asbestos survey conducted:

• Before any renovation or demolition work
• Every 6-12 months for high-risk properties, such as those with damaged or deteriorating ACMs
• Every 2-3 years for medium-risk properties, such as those with ACMs in good condition but with potential for disturbance
• Every 5-10 years for low-risk properties, such as those with ACMs that are well-maintained and unlikely to be disturbed

Our team of experienced and trained surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection of your property, using specialized equipment to identify ACMs. We'll assess the condition and location of these materials, taking note of any potential risks or hazards.
