Additions and carports on converted houses are often older material than the owner expects.
A House That Is A Workplace
- Workplace rules apply. Once staff work in the building, the owner's duties under the Asbestos Abatement Regulations cover the people inside it.
- Landlord and tenant need to agree who acts. The owner usually holds the duty to identify and manage asbestos; the tenant must not disturb it during alterations.
- Staff need to be told. Where material stays in place, people working there should know where it is and not to drill or cut it.
Tenants planning alterations to a converted house should ask the landlord for the asbestos inventory before any work starts.
Sort Out Responsibility First
In a converted house, the most common problem is not the asbestos itself but no one owning it. A tenant installs air-conditioning through an old ceiling; a landlord assumes the tenant handled it. Before any alteration, the landlord should commission an inventory, decide what is removed and what is managed in place, and share it with the tenant. Removal is usually scheduled for a weekend or a closed week so staff are not in the building while it is under way.
