Bunce Common: your questions answered
Do you cover Bunce Common from London?
We cover Bunce Common, about 22 miles from central London.
My garage in Bunce Common has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
