HSGS44 Asbestos Cement Roof Sheets Removal and Over Cladding (MRK284)
Guidance for contractors, designers, and clients considering the options available when refurbishing a roof.
This document provides guidance for contractors, designers, and clients considering the options available when refurbishing a roof with existing profiled cement roof sheets (commonly known as asbestos or fibre cement sheets), which requires careful planning due to safety, health, structural, and regulatory concerns.
NFRC is urging roofing contractors, merchants, housebuilders and the wider construction supply chain to remain vigilant after receiving photographs of roofing battens carrying markings that appear inconsistent with the requirements of BS 5534.
Ensuring a competent, professional and accountable workforce remains a key priority for NFRC, particularly as the industry continues to adapt to the requirements of the Building Safety Regime.
