Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in NW5, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
NW5: your questions answered
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.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
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; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
