A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Gutters and downpipes

Should you do it yourself?

FAQs for Halfway
Do you cover Halfway from London?
We cover Halfway, about 57 miles from central London.
Do you cover Halfway and the area around Kintbury station?
Yes. Kintbury station is about 1.6 miles south-west of Halfway, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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 garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
