Should I Test My House for Asbestos in Devon?
If you're a homeowner in Devon, it's natural to wonder if your house contains asbestos. Asbestos was a common building material used in the UK until the 1990s, and it's still present in many homes today. But why is it a concern, and should you test your house for asbestos?
What's the Risk of Asbestos in My Home?
Asbestos can be a serious health risk if it's disturbed or damaged, releasing tiny fibres into the air. When inhaled, these fibres can cause lung diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. If you're planning to renovate, demolish, or sell your property, it's essential to know if asbestos is present. Our team at 1st Choice Asbestos can help you identify the risks and provide a safe solution.
How Do I Know if My House Contains Asbestos?
Asbestos can be hidden in various building materials, such as insulation, roofing, and flooring. If your house was built before the 1990s, it's likely to contain asbestos. However, the only way to confirm is through a thorough survey and testing. Our experienced analysts will take samples from your property and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. We'll provide you with a detailed report outlining the results and recommending the best course of action.
