If
you know that you have asbestos in your roof and you’ve noticed that the garage
is looking a bit worse for wear then now’s the time to get it replaced.
Asbestos can be found within the fibres of older fire-resistant and insulating
materials, although it’s not as common now because these materials are made
with greater care. Asbestos can be potentially harmful too, so this gives you
even more of a reason to replace the garage and create a new sturdy structure
to store garden equipment, the car, or whatever you decide to keep inside.
In any case it’s best to call in the professionals to
do the work when dealing with these materials. You need to know how to remove
them in the safest way possible without causing further damage and disruption
to the surrounding area or yourself. Obviously once your new structure is in
place, you will be ready to enjoy a new garage but in the meantime don’t
attempt to do the work yourself and rely on the professionals.
Not only will they know how to take the garage apart,
they will also know how to dispose of the waste once it’s taken down. The
materials need to be disposed of to coincide with Hazardous Waste Regulations
and the professionals will have the contacts in place for this purpose without
you having to worry about it.
No matter how big your garage, single or double, the
work can be carried out and then you can start to look for alternative options
to get your new one in place. Making sure the area is clear and free of
asbestos is your first priority before your new garage will either be placed in
the same location or in a new location altogether.
Whilst the work is being carried out on your current
garage you could start planning the details for your new garage. Where it will
go, the materials and design you wish to go for, whether you want doors and
side windows to be included and also if you want a slanting or straight roof
are just some of the things you will want to consider. A garage will last you
for a number of years, so take the time to think about these choices as it will
become as permanent feature of your home.
So just to recap, make sure
you get the professionals in who know how to dismantle your garage and where to
dispose of it once it’s been demolished. Don’t do the work yourself as you
don’t want to cause yourself any damage; inevitably, you'll have to call in the professionals
anyway when you can’t take the garage down, to ensure it is performed in a safe and correct way. Whilst the work
is being done, establish the design for your new garage. When the work is done
you can enjoy your new garage for whatever your needs may be.
