Asbestos garage roof removal near Coscote
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Coscote tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and brittle, leaking roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Coscote, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.
