Am I liable for asbestos that is in a property my business manages?

Yes, you could be. The HSE states -

If you’re the landlord, tenant or managing agent of a commercial property you may be responsible for managing asbestos, unless your contract or lease says otherwise.

You need to have a have a plan of action to remove or encapsulate the asbestos (even if the property is derelict or vacant), because failure to do so could lead to -

• £20,000 fine
• 12 months in prison

For the untrained, asbestos can be sometimes difficult to spot. The HSE website has photographs to help highlight what asbestos can look like, however we would always recommend having an asbestos survey carried out by an asbestos removal company like ourselves, to determine if there is asbestos in your property and if so, what type of asbestos, which will then help us complete a plan to get it removed safely.

Health and safety certificiations

Removing licensable asbestos is the most dangerous type of asbestos removal work and to carry out this legally in the UK, two licenses and required. We hold both of these licences and they can be seen below -

• A 3-year licence (expires 9 September 2028) granted by the Health and Safety Executive to work with asbestos insulation and asbestos insulation board for the purpose of removal (licence number 991904287).
• A licence to transport hazardous waste, awarded by the Environment Agency, which allows us to safely transport and dispose of the asbestos once removed. Our Waste Carriers Registration Number is CBDU180277.
