Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner or business owner in Devon, it's essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with asbestos. This hazardous material was widely used in construction until the 1990s, and it can still be found in many properties across the county. But when should you test for asbestos, and what are the risks of not doing so?

Asbestos is a group of minerals that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed or damaged, they release tiny fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause harm. If you suspect that your property contains asbestos, it's crucial to take action to protect yourself, your family, and your employees.

Asbestos was commonly used in a variety of building materials, including insulation, roofing, flooring, and ceilings. If your property was built before the 1990s, it's likely to contain some form of asbestos. Look out for materials that may contain asbestos, such as:

• Insulation in attics, walls, and floors
• Roofing and ceiling tiles
• Vinyl flooring and adhesives
• Textured ceilings and walls

You should test for asbestos in the following situations:

• Before carrying out any renovation or demolition work
• If you suspect that your property contains asbestos
• If you've noticed any damage or disturbance to materials that may contain asbestos
• If you're planning to sell or buy a property
