About our asbestos garage roof removal in Thames View Estate
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
Garages around Thames View Estate are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.
