What components affect the cost of replacing your asbestos roof?
When you want to have your asbestos roof replaced, there are a number of components that affect the amount of the total price.
1: Asbestos inventory
Before a certified asbestos company removes your roof, you must first have an asbestos inventory report. On average, this survey costs £350. Is there a suspicion that asbestos is present, but not immediately detectable? Then destructive testing is required. The cost of this survey starts at £450 and depends on the size of the survey. Consult with the asbestos specialist about which type of survey is needed for your situation.
2: The number of m2
Of course, the number of square metres plays a role in calculating the price for asbestos roof removal. The higher the number of square metres, the higher the cost of removing the roof will be.
3: Dumping asbestos-containing material
Do you have the roof disposed of by the asbestos removal company or do you transport it yourself – if that is allowed by the rules? The price charged for removing asbestos varies from one municipality to another. Some municipalities allow you to bring your asbestos-containing waste free of charge, while others charge a price per weight. The price for disposal ranges from £0 to £25 per 100 kilograms.
4: New roof
After removing your old roof, a new roof will have to take its place. There are many different kinds and types of roofs to choose from. So the cost of installing a new roof varies greatly from one situation to another.
