Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
What affects the price in Findon
Prices vary with:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
