Asbestos garage roof removal for Earlswood properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and garages in a row or block, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In places like Earlswood, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.
