Asbestos garage roof removal for Staines-upon-Thames properties
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and carport roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In towns like Staines-upon-Thames, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, which are now brittle with age. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.
