Understanding the Importance of Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys in Devon
If you're planning to refurbish or demolish a property in Devon, it's essential to understand the risks associated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos was widely used in building construction until the late 1990s, and it's still present in many properties across the UK. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we provide expert asbestos refurbishment surveys to help you manage the risks and ensure a safe working environment.
What is an Asbestos Refurbishment Survey?
An asbestos refurbishment survey is a type of survey that's designed to identify the presence of ACMs in a property that's due for refurbishment or demolition.
