About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hastings Old Town
Many garages built before 2000, in Hastings Old Town and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and old, cracked sheets.
In places like Hastings Old Town, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.
