Duty holders and landlords in Bepton Common
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
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.

Common questions in Bepton Common
Do older homes in Bepton Common have asbestos?
If your home in Bepton Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What we deal with in Bepton Common
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before tiling
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Midhurst CofE Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the job needs notifying
