About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kings Cross
Garage roof removal in Kings Cross normally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garage blocks and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Garages around Kings Cross are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
