The COVID-19 lockdown has changed the way we live our lives. Current social distancing rules mean that we can’t meet up with others indoors like we used to. Those of us lucky enough to have a garden will probably spend a lot more time in it this summer. Weather permitting we can use it as a safe place to catch up with friends and family. However, an old garage that is neglected and leaking can become a bit of an eyesore in our precious outside space. If this is the case you have several options.
1. Replace the old garage roof
This is the quickest and easiest option. A new pent garage roof or apex garage roof, along with new verge boards and facias can give an old garage an instant facelift! A good garage roofing company can usually remove your old roof and replace it with a brand new one in just one day – even if it contains asbestos. At Garage Roof Scotland we also take away all of the old roofing materials. However, the cost for this is slightly higher if there is asbestos present because materials containing asbestos have to be handled in a particular way and disposed of in a sealed container in a specialist centre.
2. Remove the old garage completely
Sometimes an old garage needs more than a new roof and is completely beyond repair. You may also feel that the space it is taking up could be better used for something else. A roofing company like Garage Roof Scotland can quickly and safely completely dismantle and remove an old garage. We would take away all of the garage materials e.g. bricks, concrete, doors, windows etc. making sure to leave your property in pristine condition.
3. Replace the old garage with a brand new garage
Of course the other, much more expensive, option is to remove the old garage and replace it with a brand new one. If this is something you would like to do, we can help with that too. We can arrange a site visit and advise you on the best new garage for your property. We can then help you order your new garage and check that your current foundations are suitable. If not, we can lay some new foundations in readiness.
