Duty holders and landlords in Tapnage

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Tapnage
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and brittle, leaking roofs.
Rural garages near Tapnage are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Questions from Tapnage
Do you cover small places like Tapnage?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Tapnage contain asbestos?
If your home in Tapnage was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Tapnage?
We do: our area includes Tapnage and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Tapnage is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
