Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a landlord in Devon, it's essential to understand your responsibilities when it comes to asbestos in your rental properties. Asbestos can be a significant health risk, and it's crucial to take steps to manage and mitigate this risk. In this article, we'll explore the responsibilities of landlords in Devon regarding asbestos surveys and management.

Asbestos is a group of minerals that were commonly used in building materials, particularly in the mid-20th century. While asbestos can be safe if left undisturbed, it can release fibres when damaged or disturbed, which can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. As a landlord, it's your duty to protect your tenants from the risks associated with asbestos exposure.

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires landlords to manage asbestos in their properties. This includes identifying the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assessing the risks associated with these materials, and implementing measures to manage and control these risks. A thorough asbestos survey is the first step in managing asbestos in your property.

An asbestos survey involves a thorough inspection of your property to identify the presence of ACMs. Our team of experienced asbestos surveyors will inspect your property, including all areas, such as lofts, basements, and behind walls. We'll identify the type and extent of any ACMs, assess the risks associated with these materials, and provide recommendations for managing and controlling these risks.

As a landlord, it's your responsibility to manage asbestos in your property. This includes implementing measures to prevent disturbance of ACMs, providing information to tenants and contractors about the presence of asbestos, and ensuring that any work on the property is carried out safely.
