FAQs for Hook
Do you cover Hook from London?
We cover Hook, about 68 miles from central London.
Do you work near Swanwick station?
Yes. Swanwick station is about 2.2 miles north of Hook, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you work in Hook?
We do: our area includes Hook and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is my garage roof in Hook asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
