Asbestos garage roof removal in Old Basing
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. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about garage conversions and double garages.
In a smaller place like Old Basing, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

- Prefab garages with cement walls

- Single and double garage roofs
