For businesses and landlords in America Ground
If your business premises in America Ground were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
FAQs for America Ground
Is asbestos common in America Ground homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in America Ground can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in America Ground homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
