Duty holders and landlords in Brimpton Common
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
