Your questions about garage roof removal in West Hagbourne
Are garage roofs in West Hagbourne generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover West Hagbourne from London?
We cover West Hagbourne, about 51 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
