Common questions in Afton
Is asbestos common in Afton homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Afton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Afton typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you cover Afton?
We do: our area includes Afton and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Options to consider in Afton
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
