- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming

Duty holders and landlords in Pound Hill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Pound Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
