Asbestos garage roof removal near Drayton St Leonard
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Drayton St Leonard is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and sheet garages.
In areas like Drayton St Leonard, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.
