Who is responsible for carrying out any work necessary to remove a danger?

The owner of the property is legally responsible. Wherever possible we will always try to get the owner to arrange for any necessary works themselves. Where the owner cannot be contacted, or they are unable to arrange the works, we will arrange for any immediate danger to be removed by our emergency contractors. The costs involved in this will be recharged to the property owner.
