Due to the age of the Portsmouth Homes’ housing stock, it’s likely that some asbestos will be present.
Portsmouth Homes has carried out asbestos surveys in a large proportion of properties and the overall risk was found to be low. Asbestos can be in your home as long as it is undisturbed, so you must also make the council aware immediately if you suspect asbestos to be damaged. You can request an asbestos inspection at any time.
If you are a council resident you should seek permission before making any alterations to your home.
If you:
- are planning any alterations to your home
- want any advice regarding asbestos
- are reporting any damage to suspected asbestos
Council residents can contact the customer repairs team by:
