Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Enfield Island Village were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
