When Is An Asbestos Survey Needed in Devon

If you're a homeowner, business owner, or property manager in Devon, it's essential to know when an asbestos survey is necessary. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were widely used in building construction until the late 1990s, and they can still be found in many properties today. At 1st Choice Asbestos, we provide expert asbestos survey services to help you identify and manage ACMs in your property.

Understanding the Risks of Asbestos

Asbestos is a group of minerals that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. When ACMs are disturbed or damaged, they can release asbestos fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause harm. If you suspect that your property contains ACMs, it's crucial to have a survey conducted to assess the risks and develop a plan to manage them.

When to Conduct an Asbestos Survey

In the UK, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 requires property owners to manage asbestos in their buildings. You should conduct an asbestos survey if:

  • Your property was built before the year 2000
  • You're planning to renovate or demolish your property
  • You've identified ACMs in your property
  • You're buying or selling a property
  • You're a landlord or property manager with a duty to manage asbestos in your properties

What to Expect from an Asbestos Survey

At 1st Choice Asbestos, our experienced surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify ACMs. We'll provide you with a detailed report outlining the location, type, and condition of any ACMs found, as well as recommendations for managing them. Our survey services include:

  • Asbestos refurbishment surveys to identify ACMs that may be disturbed during renovation work
