Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
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.
Asbestos removal in Berwick
Asbestos removal in Berwick covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and asbestos garages, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In Berwick, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.

Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
