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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Helpful guides
Maidenhead: your questions answered
Could my house in Maidenhead contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Maidenhead and the area around Maidenhead station?
Yes, we cover Maidenhead and the area towards Maidenhead station, about 0.5 miles south-east.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
