Upper Dicker questions
How far is Upper Dicker from London?

Do you cover Upper Dicker and the area around Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. Berwick (Sussex) station is about 2.5 miles south-west of Upper Dicker, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.

Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Upper Dicker

We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records.
