Your questions about garage roof removal in Birtley Green
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Birtley Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
