Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a property owner or manager in Devon, it's essential to understand the risks associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your building. Asbestos can be found in various forms, including insulation, roofing, and flooring, and if not managed properly, it can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of occupants. Regular asbestos surveys are crucial in identifying and managing these risks, but how often should they be carried out?

Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. When ACMs are damaged or disturbed, they release fibres into the air, which can be inhaled by occupants. This is why it's vital to identify and manage ACMs in your building to prevent exposure. Regular asbestos surveys can help you do just that.

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

• Every 12 months for high-risk buildings, such as those with damaged or deteriorating ACMs
• Every 2-3 years for medium-risk buildings, such as those with ACMs in good condition but with a moderate level of risk
• Every 5-6 years for low-risk buildings, such as those with ACMs in good condition and a low level of risk

An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your building to identify the presence, type, and condition of ACMs. Our team of experienced surveyors will:

• Conduct a visual inspection of the building to identify potential ACMs
• Take samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis
• Assess the condition and risk of the ACMs
• Provide a comprehensive report detailing the findings and recommendations for management and removal
