For businesses and landlords in Seven Dials
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Common questions in Seven Dials
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Brighton station?
Yes. Brighton station is close to the centre of Seven Dials, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
