About our asbestos garage roof removal in Oving
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Oving tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Oving may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Oving
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
