A closer look at the materials

What affects the price in Ford
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Ford, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Ford questions
My garage in Ford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Ford and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 2.8 miles west of Ford, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garage blocks
Properties near Snakemoor may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
