They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
