Common questions in Theale
Are garage roofs in Theale normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Theale contain asbestos?
If your home in Theale was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
