Testing for Asbestos in Devon: A Guide to Safe Material Identification

If you're a homeowner, business owner, or property manager in Devon, it's essential to know how to test materials for asbestos. Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we're committed to helping you identify and manage asbestos in your property.

Why Test for Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in construction materials until the 1980s, and it's still present in many buildings in Devon. If you're planning to renovate, demolish, or disturb any materials in your property, it's crucial to test for asbestos first. Our team of experts can help you identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and develop a safe removal plan.

How to Test for Asbestos

Testing for asbestos involves collecting samples of suspected materials and sending them to a laboratory for analysis. Our team will guide you through the process, from sampling to results. We'll work with you to identify the best sampling strategy for your property, taking into account the type of materials, their location, and the potential risks.

What Materials Should Be Tested for Asbestos?

Some common materials that may contain asbestos include:

  • Roofing and insulation materials
  • Ceiling tiles and textured coatings
  • Floor tiles and linoleum
  • Pipe lagging and boiler insulation
  • Asbestos cement products, such as corrugated roofing and wall cladding
    If you're unsure whether a material contains asbestos, it's always best to err on the side of caution and have it tested.
