For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Broughton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Broughton
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garage blocks and broken sheets after high winds, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Broughton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages being knocked down
- Pieces of broken roof
- Carport roofs
Properties near Crouch Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

Broughton: your questions answered
Could my house in Broughton contain asbestos?
Any home in Broughton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Broughton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
