Beach hut maintenance in Bournemouth and Poole

Skip to contents of guide

We are responsible for the maintenance and repair of council owned beach huts in Bournemouth and Poole.

This includes the identification and management of any risks from materials that contain asbestos.

Asbestos-containing materials in beach huts

If you're planning to carry out any changes to the inside of your beach hut that may damage or disturb its fabric, for example, by drilling or cutting, please contact us for advice before starting work.

We’re responsible for the maintenance and repair of our beach huts. We must also:

  • identify whether asbestos is present
  • assess its condition
  • manage any risks

We have up to date management plans that we act upon if needed. Read the HSE guidance on why asbestos is dangerous.
