Before we can undertake any roof work on existing garages we are required to see a Laboratory Test Result. If you do not have such a report listing the work site location, we can get a test carried out for you from a sample that we will collect. There are many myths abounding as to what is “safe” and what is not. The most common form of asbestos in roofing material is Chrysotile, often referred to as “white asbestos”. While this material is not as hazardous as “blue” or “brown” asbestos, it is still highly carcinogenic and requires legally enforced controls to be observed in connection with its removal and disposal.
