I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not by looking: it takes laboratory analysis of a sample. We sample it with controls and send it to an accredited laboratory.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Durley Street
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Durley Street, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
