FAQs for Burford
How far is Burford from London?
Burford is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Burford have asbestos?
If your home in Burford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Garage roof removal in Burford is planned around daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:30pm in June.
