Yes your commercial unit in Plymouth requires an asbestos register if it was built before the year 2000 and you have responsibility for its maintenance.
- Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012): Regulation 4 places a strict “duty to manage” asbestos on non-domestic premises.
- The Dutyholder: The law applies to whoever is responsible for repairing and maintaining the property. This could be you as the owner, the tenant, or a managing agent, depending on the terms of your lease.
- Pre-2000 Buildings: If the commercial unit was constructed or renovated before 2000, you must assume asbestos might be present until proven otherwise by a professional.
