Commercial and industrial asbestos removal in Walsall
Warehouses, workshops and industrial units around Walsall often have asbestos in roofs, cladding, ducts, floor tiles or insulation board. Contractors can plan phased works to keep your business running.
If you manage non-domestic premises you have a legal duty to manage asbestos: find out whether it is there, keep a record and manage the risk. Removal is one way to deal with it, usually when a roof fails or the building is being refurbished or sold.
Typical jobs include corrugated cement roofs on units, asbestos cement cladding, flue and duct sections, floor tiles and insulation board. Larger roofs need scaffold, edge protection or a mobile platform, and a clear waste plan.

Common questions
