DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we deal with in Cop Street
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Cop Street include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Storm-damaged sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Sandwich station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
