Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a property owner in Devon, it's essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with asbestos. This hazardous material was widely used in building construction until the late 1990s, and its presence can still be found in many properties across the region. To protect yourself, your family, and your employees from the dangers of asbestos, it's crucial to have regular asbestos surveys conducted.

Asbestos surveys are necessary to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your property. These materials can release harmful fibres when damaged or disturbed, which can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. By having an asbestos survey, you can determine the type and extent of ACMs present in your property and develop a plan to manage or remove them.

In Devon, it's recommended to have an asbestos survey conducted in the following situations:

• Before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out on your property
• When you're planning to buy or sell a property
• If you suspect that your property may contain asbestos
• Every 6-12 months if you have a high-risk property, such as a commercial or industrial building

An asbestos survey typically involves a thorough inspection of your property by a trained and experienced surveyor. They will look for signs of asbestos-containing materials, such as textured ceilings, insulation, and pipe lagging. The surveyor will also take samples of suspected ACMs for laboratory analysis. Based on the findings, they will provide you with a comprehensive report outlining the presence and extent of asbestos in your property.

Once the survey is complete, you'll receive a report detailing the findings. If asbestos is present, the report will outline the necessary steps to manage or remove the ACMs. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we can provide you with a tailored plan to safely remove or encapsulate the asbestos, ensuring your property is safe and compliant with UK regulations.
