Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Blue Town, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Blue Town
Many garages built before 2000, in Blue Town and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about double garages and carport roofs.
Homes in towns and villages like Blue Town often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
