Asbestos garage roof removal for Ducklington properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about single garages and garage blocks.
Rural garages near Ducklington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.
