About our asbestos garage roof removal in Middle Assendon
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and carport roofs, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Middle Assendon may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.
