In Bexley Council, landlords must be vigilant about the dangers of asbestos, especially in older buildings. Asbestos fibers can pose serious health risks if disturbed, leading to severe illnesses like lung cancer and mesothelioma. It is crucial to manage asbestos properly to protect tenants and ensure compliance with the law.

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, landlords in Bexley have a legal duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic properties and communal areas of residential buildings. Key responsibilities include:

• Arranging an asbestos survey to determine if asbestos is present and in what condition.
