Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
For managing agents and freeholders in Carisbrooke, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Questions from Carisbrooke
Are garage roofs in Carisbrooke usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Carisbrooke homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you cover Carisbrooke?
Yes, Carisbrooke is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
