We are keen to manage asbestos in your home safely.  We have a detailed list of what type of asbestos we think there is in each property.  Each time a repair is carried out in your home, we tell our contractor if we think there is asbestos.  If you undertake alterations in your home and ask for permission we will advise you if there is asbestos in your home and whether it is safe to undertake the alterations.

 

Where materials that contain asbestos are to be removed we will inform you of the material type, location, estimated duration of the removal and the degree of control required to successfully remove it.  We will consult with you on the actual timing of the removal, which in some cases might prohibit your access to your home for safety reasons.

 

You can view the information recorded on the Asbestos Register on South Lakeland District Council's website.
