Asbestos garage roof removal in Rowfant
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Rowfant are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.
