How we price garage roof removal

FAQs for Murcott
How far is Murcott from London?
We cover Murcott, about 51 miles from central London.
Do you work near Islip station?
Yes. Islip station is about 3.7 miles west of Murcott, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
