Default Disposal of roofing felt

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

Default Disposal of roofing felt

I recently helped my neighbour to dismantle a carport with a felt roof. Some of it went in a skip we had that was partially filled and the rest we disposed of at our local recycling centre taking it down in his fathers trailer. Neither the skip company or the attendants at the recycle centre batted an eyelid and we were observed and they were aware of what was being disposed off. Sounds like a nice little earner for the roofing company.

Ring a skip company & ask?
Tactically, ring a skip company outside your area, just in case
it's a cosy setup ;-)


Thanks everyone.

I rang the council's landfill centre and they quoted me about 」170 per
tonne if I bring it in myself. I also looked at websites of a few places
that sell roofing felt, and it seems that the weight is about 2kg per
square metre, so with about 50 square metres I'll have about 0.1 tonne to
get rid of. I forgot to ask whether there was a minimum charge, so it may
cost 」17 or perhaps as much as 」70 plus all the hassle of cutting it up
and making several journeys in the car, but 」1400 seems totally
ridiculous. So now I'm sceptical about everything else in the quote too.

I mean 」170 if there's a 1 tonne minimum but the guy didn't say there was.
In any case 」1400 makes it sound as though the roofer added an extra zero.
This is on top of a quote of about 」10000 for replacing a 50 square metre
felt roof with fibre glass.

Please don't envy me for living on the scammer-rich Isle of Lewis.

4 or 5 years ago it cost us 」6k ish for a 13 x 4 m (52 sq m) flat
roof in fibre glass. Including removal of old felt and failed
decking, installation of 100 mm celotext between ceiling rafters, new
deck in 22mm OSB3 and the glass fibre covering.

Please don't envy me for living on the scammer-rich Isle of Lewis.


Where have the guys got to come from? Are they having to stay over
night whilst they do the job? Mind you 」1080 buys you 4 blokes for 3

THis is Scotland and a remote island, so materials come a long
way and that costs a lot. Maybe the Scottish gov
has 'rules'.

I replaced my 5.5 * 2.8 mtre flat garage roof with new 22 ml
OSB3 and EPDM for about ツ」700 for the materials and all the
manky chipboard and bitumen is gradually making its way to the
local recycling centre.

There will be 2 or 3 layers of felt on the roof.
You shouldn't pay anything at the dump if you have a car. It's waste from your house and can go in the general waste bin. But yes you may get hassle if they spot it, as they think you might be a roofer.

The slow free way is to put some in the household bins each week.

that's in poor condition.

FWLIW if you wanted a path or shed floor you could always heat the old felt up to over 200C & tamp it down. Chop it first for a neat result.

The easy solution is to DIY with butyl rubber.
(Fish pond liner) Put on top of the existing felt.
Nail periphery with battens.

If windy, lay some heavy timber baulks on top.

ツ」200 fo entire job?

Or use box profile steel sheet. Easy DIY job.

They are charging you for the ferry. And the whisky consumed on the ferry. And for the waiting time at the tip. And for the whisky consumed while waiting at the tip. And for the whisky for the boys at the tip to unload specially slowly so they have more time to drink whisky.

At those prices they may also be charging you for the diesel used by the ferry!

Having been through a fair bit of clearout recently trhis is what it
cost me. (ex of council tax)

8 yard skip ツ」250

Hire a van for a half day and take it to the local tip ツ」45.00

Fill the freelander up and take it to the local tip ツ」7.00 of diesel

Burn it in the back garden ツ」0.00

Cut it up with angle grinder and put a little in the bin each week. ツ」0.00.

I would have thought so.


Having been through a fair bit of clearout recently trhis is what it
cost me. (ex of council tax)

8 yard skip ツ」250

Hire a van for a half day and take it to the local tip ツ」45.00

Fill the freelander up and take it to the local tip ツ」7.00 of diesel

Burn it in the back garden ツ」0.00



Perhaps you could also heat your house with it.

Instead of a wood burning stove you could install an "Any old crap"
burning stove.

Instead of ツ」0.00 it could be -ve disposal cost.

Hertz do hourly rentals of vans. Pick up at the local B&Q. That might
save some wear on the SEAT.


Many council tips won't let Vans in though...

Ours does allow vans, but you have to book the day before, and bring ID
showing you are a householder in the borough.

It was a real problem the time before, when we turned up with a drop
side truck. I hadn't read the web page closely enough, but they let us
in, anyway.

Our council requires us to have a residents permit which is free on providing resident proof to use the waste sites but they do take asbestos for free and vans are permitted on application for a van permit.

Burning old chipboard and bitumen is seriously bad for the
environment and your neighbours. Stupid idea. Do you burn
your old car tyres as well ?.

I had a mate, who burned chipboard in his woodburner in his workshop. He
had a lot of medical issues, and he got diagnosed with possible Motor
Neurone Disease. Then, the penny dropped, he stopped burning chipboard,
and he made a miraculous recovery.

We can never be sure the chipboard was the problem, but it seems quite
possible.
