Common questions in Lickfold
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?

Do you cover Lickfold?

Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

What it might be made of
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs

The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.

- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
