Questions from Cottonworth
Are garage roofs in Cottonworth usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Cottonworth and the area around Andover station?
Yes, we cover Cottonworth and the area towards Andover station, about 4.1 miles north.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Take a look at how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Cottonworth by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
