Your questions about garage roof removal in Walton-on-Thames
Could my house in Walton-on-Thames contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Walton-on-Thames and the area around Walton-On-Thames station?
Yes. Walton-On-Thames station is about 0.8 miles south of Walton-on-Thames, and we cover both.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
