Asbestos testing in Boreham Street
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
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.
Asbestos testing in Boreham Street
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Boreham Street, stop and keep people away from it. A test will show whether it contains asbestos. Whether it’s porch canopies and answers trades need before starting, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and flue pipes and more.
Village homes in places like Boreham Street often mix old and newer materials, so each material needs its own test. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.
