Asbestos garage roof removal in East Ilsley
Asbestos garage roof removal in East Ilsley
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people typically contact us about garages due for demolition and concrete-panel garages.
Rural garages near East Ilsley are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
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.
For managing agents and freeholders in East Ilsley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
