Asbestos was widely used in building materials until it was banned in 1999, so it can be found in many properties built or refurbished before 2000. It is only a risk when it is damaged or disturbed, but landlords need to know whether it is present and how it is being managed. Pure Residential arranges asbestos surveys for landlords in Keighley and across West Yorkshire.
Where does it apply?
The duty to manage asbestos applies to non-domestic premises, which includes commercial properties and the shared areas of residential blocks. For individual rented homes, landlords still have a general responsibility to keep tenants safe, particularly before any building or maintenance work takes place.
How we can help
- Arranging an asbestos survey where one is needed
- Advising on what a survey result means for your property
