Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner in Devon, it's natural to want to protect your family and property from potential health risks. One often-overlooked threat is asbestos, a group of minerals commonly used in building materials until the late 1990s. If you're concerned about asbestos in your home, it's essential to know how to test for it safely and effectively.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials, such as insulation, roofing, and flooring, due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, when asbestos is disturbed or damaged, it releases tiny fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Identifying asbestos in your home can be challenging, as it's often hidden within other materials. However, there are some common signs to look out for:

• Insulation in attics, walls, or floors
• Roofing materials, such as corrugated sheets or tiles
• Flooring materials, such as vinyl or linoleum
• Textured ceilings or walls
  If you suspect that your home contains asbestos, it's crucial to have it tested by a professional. At 1st Choice Asbestos, our team of experts has years of experience in surveying and testing for asbestos in homes across Devon.

While it's possible to purchase DIY asbestos testing kits, these are not always reliable and can put you and your family at risk. Professional asbestos testing involves taking a sample of the suspected material and sending it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Our team will ensure that the testing process is carried out safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your home.

If asbestos is found in your home, our team will provide you with a comprehensive report outlining the extent of the problem and recommending the best course of action. In some cases, it may be possible to leave the asbestos in place, as long as it's not damaged or disturbed. However, if the asbestos is damaged or poses a health risk, it may need to be removed by a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
