A 'rogue trader' whose firm ripped out asbestos from a garage in Stockport before dumping it in the street has been jailed after it was discovered they never had a licence to do such work and had falsified documents.
Asbestos Boss Ltd were brought in by a resident to remove the asbestos insulating board from the internal garage at their property in September 2021. However, the material was then dumped at the property from where it had been taken, 'littering' the road and pavement with asbestos.
An investigation was launched which established the firm, run by manager/director Daniel Luke Cockcroft, had never held a licence to remove asbestos - despite advertising that they did.
