Asbestos removal in Portsmouth Point
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Common materials are floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people generally contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roofs and whole garages.
In areas like Portsmouth Point, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.
