Asbestos Surveys in Exeter (Devon)

Where Asbestos Is Commonly Found in Exeter & Devon?

With its mix of historic buildings, coastal industries, and 20th-century developments, Devon has a high likelihood of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in various settings, including:

• Historic buildings and heritage sites – Older properties in Exeter, Dartmouth, and Totnes may contain asbestos in insulation, ceilings, and fireproofing.
• Marine and dockyard locations – Plymouth’s naval base and fishing harbours across Devon have a legacy of asbestos use in shipbuilding and repair.
• Industrial and commercial properties – Factories and warehouses in Newton Abbot, Tiverton, and Barnstaple often have asbestos in roofs, pipe lagging, and floor tiles.
• Residential homes – Pre-2000 houses and bungalows throughout Exeter, Torbay, and North Devon may have asbestos in textured coatings, soffits, and garage roofs.

Identifying asbestos early is crucial to prevent exposure and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
