Duty holders and landlords in Kingsdown
If your business premises in Kingsdown were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.

- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos

Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Good to know

- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured coatings
- Old waste on site
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For non-domestic buildings like Kingsdown and Ringwould CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
