For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Welling must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Welling, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Welling questions
Is asbestos common in Welling homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Welling and the area around Welling station?
Yes, we cover Welling and the area towards Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
