Why
homeowners and those buying or selling a home should eliminate any
risk of asbestos...
Homeowners are responsible for any asbestos in their homes. The
HSE will prosecute homeowners who unwittingly expose workers (e.g.
electricians, plumbers, builders, joiners, plasterers, etc) to such
materials.
An asbestos survey gives homeowners peace of mind that their property
is a safe place to live, and also fulfils the requirements of solicitors/mortgage
lenders when buying or selling a home.
