Your questions about garage roof removal in Old Wolverton
How far is Old Wolverton from London?
Old Wolverton is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Old Wolverton and the area around Wolverton station?
Yes, we cover Old Wolverton and the area towards Wolverton station, about 0.9 miles east.
Do you work in Old Wolverton?
Yes, we do: Old Wolverton is within the area we cover in Milton Keynes. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
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, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
