The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Burcott by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole

FAQs for Burcott
Do older homes in Burcott have asbestos?
If your home in Burcott was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Burcott from London?
Burcott is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Do you work in Burcott?
Yes, Burcott is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
