Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
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.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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.
