How it works

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chilton, 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.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
