Asbestos help in Hickmans Green
Asbestos garage roof removal near Hickmans Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garages before a new roof or conversion and old, cracked sheets, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Hickmans Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Hickmans Green
Are garage roofs in Hickmans Green generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Hickmans Green and the area around Selling station?
Yes, we cover Hickmans Green and the area towards Selling station, about 1 mile south-west.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What happens to the old roof sheets?

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
