Asbestos garage roof removal in Wrotham Heath
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wrotham Heath
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about concrete-panel garages and roofs to clear before demolition.
Rural garages near Wrotham Heath are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed.

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
