Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Slutshole were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
