HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Winford
Many garages built before 2000, in Winford and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and sheet garages, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Winford, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.
