Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Sheffield Bottom
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From garage blocks and double garages, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
