For businesses and landlords in Middle Aston
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Middle Aston must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Middle Aston
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include old, cracked sheets and prefab garages with cement walls, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In areas like Middle Aston, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
