Asbestos garage roof removal near Pentonville
Many garages built before 2000, in Pentonville and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and garages in a row or block, involving downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In parts of London like Pentonville, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.
