Mill Meads: your questions answered
My garage in Mill Meads has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Mill Meads with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Mill Meads for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
