Asbestos information by block

The Standard Conditions for Proposed Work & Alterations on the Barbican Estate includes a section regarding management of asbestos in accordance with the current leglislation (see pages 15 to 16)

You are most at risk when you are:

  • working in an unfamiliar site
  • the building you are working on was built prior to 2000 (as was the Barbican Estate)
  • you do not know how to recognise and work safely with asbestos in accordance with the current Asbestos Regulations which state asbestos must, in most cases, be removed by a Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor.

The links below will provide further information regarding the likely location of asbestos in the communal areas and interior of flats in particular blocks on the Barbican Estate. However, please note that asbestos containing materials may be found in other areas of individual flats, although this does not mean that in every situation there is an unacceptable risk. Residents are advised to have their own Hazard Risk Assessment carried out.
