Asbestos garage roof removal for Pratling Street properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Pratling Street and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garages due a new roof.
