Asbestos garage roof removal for Charlton-in-Dover properties

Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and double garages.

In Charlton-in-Dover, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.
