Asbestos help in Waterbeach

After the job

If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.

Once we are done:

  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Give us a rough size
  • Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
  • Book your roofer in advance

Avoid these

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

  • How easy it is to reach

Weighing up your options

Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Questions from Waterbeach

Do you work near Chichester station?

Yes, we cover Waterbeach and the area towards Chichester station, about 3.2 miles south-west.

Could my house in Waterbeach contain asbestos?

If your home in Waterbeach was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

What paperwork will I get?

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

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.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Good to know

What’s in and what’s out:

  • Re-roofing is normally separate
  • If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
  • Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
