Asbestos garage roof removal for Denmark Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal near Denmark Hill
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports.
In parts of London like Denmark Hill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.
