How asbestos removal works in Shipley Bridge

Duty holders and landlords in Shipley Bridge
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Shipley Bridge, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Step by step
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Shipley Bridge is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
