Asbestos garage roof removal in East Burnham

About our asbestos garage roof removal in East Burnham
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical materials include cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are block garages and lean-to roofs.
In towns and villages like East Burnham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

East Burnham: your questions answered
How far is East Burnham from London?
East Burnham is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in East Burnham have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Burnham can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
