Why large roofs are different

They have more sheets, higher eaves and often equipment or animals beneath.

Planning the work

  • Site visit by the contractor
  • Written method and programme
  • Plan for access equipment
  • Waste volume and skips

Duty to manage

Owners and managers of non-domestic buildings have a duty to manage asbestos. A survey is the usual first step.

Replacement

Insulated sheets are common and can improve energy use.

This guide is general information. It is not a survey and cannot confirm whether your roof contains asbestos.

Quick answers.

Can the building stay in use?

Sometimes with separation. Ask the contractor.

Can I repair instead?

Repairs mean disturbing the sheets. Ask for advice.

Who can quote?

Contractors with experience of large roofs. Send photos and measurements.

Tell us about the roof.

A local contractor reviews your details and photos, then replies with a written quote for removing the old roof and, if you want it, fitting a new one. Free to ask, no obligation.
