How do we deliver it?

Residents are visited before work starts, given dates in writing and told exactly what each day involves. Disruption is planned rather than discovered.

Which rules apply in Rutland?

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
