Frequency of surveys

nospam@nospam.com (James Read) — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:17:37 GMT

I have a commercial asbestos survey that dates back to 1999. It has been rigorously adhered to as far as on-going inspections are concerned, as a duty holder I inspect every year. The asbestos is absolutely minimal, 2 ceiling boards and some lagging in a roof void that I am the only person to ever enter and that is to inspect it. My question is - is my survey still okay to use if nothing has changed? My landlord seems to think I need a new one and wants to charge me over £600. I say I do not need one as it's the annual inspection that is the important bit. Am I right?

HELP - Have I Been Exposed To Asbestos?

Hi, I have a small leakage on my artex ceiling in the living room due to leak from the bathroom shower. House was built in 1985, however unsure as to when the artex was originally done maybe 1 or 2 years later? What chance if any is there to exposure to asbestos in this case? I have a young family and now paranoid and fearful. Thanks. DW.

Asbestos Responsibilities For Landlords

I am thinking of purchasing some flats and building a small property portfolio to provide an income in my old age. I will have a management company doing the day to day management of the portfolio. It has been suggested that I need to have an asbestos management plan in place. Is this the case even if the properties are just basic flats or small houses?
