How asbestos garage roof removal works in Brabourne Lees

We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
