Commercial & Residential

Buying/Selling a Property?

If your Home Information Pack (HIP) has highlighted asbestos materials as a barrier to a sale or purchase, call us immediately for expert, impartial advice. It may not be as big a problem as some surveyors would have you believe. Asbestos needn't mean a costly removal exercise. Call us free on 0800 061 2597 for impartial advice.

Commercial / Industrial

If you are responsible for the maintenance of your workplace, you are legally bound by Regulation 4 of The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 to have an asbestos management plan for the areas for which you are responsible. The asbestos management plan will comprise the results of an asbestos survey along with details of how you plan to manage the asbestos within your area of responsibility.

The primary purpose of the asbestos management plan is to protect tradesmen from being exposed to asbestos fibres during the course of maintenance works.

However, the management plan also serves another purpose - it provides your employees with valuable information to ensure that they do not inadvertently disturb asbestos materials during their day-to-day work. Providing your employees with such information illustrates that you, as an employer, take health and safety issues seriously.

Please see our asbestos survey types for more information or contact us to discuss your requirements. Call us free on 0800 061 2597.

Residential Landlords

Regulation 4 - The 'Duty to Manage' asbestos applies to landlords of residential accommodation in specific instances.

If you let property to more than one party, and the property includes shared or common areas, you have a duty under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 to ensure that any asbestos present is managed in accordance with the Regulations.
