This isn't strictly about DIY but here goes.

A contractor has quoted me a large figure for the job of replacing the
currently felt-covered flat roof over my garage and part of the house, to
include £1400 for disposal of the felt that will be removed before fibre
glass is put on.

I queried this figure and he said the felt is considered to be a
hazardous
material. It seems he's right, even if the attendance of teams of guys
wearing chemical warfare suits won't be required.

But £1400? The area is about 7 metres x 7 metres.

How can I make some sort of check on what the disposal costs will be?

Thanks,

Harry



Cobblers - it goes in the skip. Mine did.

He's ripping you off...


I wonder if they've priced it for ripping off asbestos roofing felt
that's in poor condition.
