FAQs for Wanborough
Do you cover Wanborough from London?
Wanborough is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Wanborough and the area around Wanborough station?
Yes, we cover Wanborough and the area towards Wanborough station, about 0.9 miles north.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Wanborough
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Wanborough. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From storm-damaged sheets and sheet garages, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In areas like Wanborough, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.
