Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ratley
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
- Single garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Near open spaces such as Edge Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Ratley questions
Do you cover small places like Ratley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Ratley have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
