Chrysotile / white asbestos was commonly used for roofing as late as the 1990’s.

Professional testing is required to determine if roof sheeting contains asbestos.

We adhere strictly to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, ensuring all asbestos-containing materials are handled and disposed of in the correct manner.
