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.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dunsden Green, 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.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Accredited laboratory results
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Waste paperwork for every removal
