Common questions in Begbroke
Do you work near Oxford Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Begbroke and the area towards Oxford Parkway station, about 2.3 miles south-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Begbroke?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
