Questions from Wych Cross
Do older homes in Wych Cross have 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 come out to small villages like Wych Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wych Cross
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Wych Cross. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garage conversions, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Wych Cross are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.
