Asbestos Surveys and Legal Duties in Gateshead

The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 require dutyholders to manage asbestos risks in non-domestic premises and common parts of certain domestic premises.

This usually means taking reasonable steps to find out whether asbestos is present, keeping an asbestos register, assessing the condition of asbestos-containing materials and ensuring that asbestos is properly managed.

If you are planning refurbishment, demolition, maintenance or intrusive works in a building that may contain asbestos, an appropriate asbestos survey should be completed before work starts.

For homeowners, an asbestos survey or sample may also be needed before DIY, renovation, garage roof removal, property purchase or building works.
