Asbestos Garage Roof Removal and Replacement across Cumbria
Farm buildings with cement sheet roofs, shipyard and industrial sites on the west coast, and Lake District guest houses all need asbestos surveys before work starts.
Garage roofs built from the 1950s to the late 1990s were often made of asbestos cement. Over time the sheets weather, crack, grow moss and start to leak. Breaking them up or jet washing them releases fibres, so they should be taken off whole.
Guide price: Removal from £650 · removal plus new roof from £1,200.
