Asbestos garage roof removal for Cousley Wood
Asbestos garage roof removal in Cousley Wood
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and concrete-panel garages, we deal with downpipes, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Cousley Wood may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
