Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Common questions in East Guldeford
My garage in East Guldeford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like East Guldeford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- An overall view
