Your questions about garage roof removal in Abbey Gate
Could my house in Abbey Gate contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work in Abbey Gate?
Yes, Abbey Gate is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
