General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I've recently been pressurised into having my garage roof and guttering replaced I'm more annoyed with myself for getting hoodwinked. Turns out to be a bunch of Cowboys wanted paying in cash and when the roofer came to drop off the new sheeting and to look at the job, he said he couldn't replace the gutters( which was part of the original estimate for the job) and he said he would have the job done in 1/2 a day??? I'm no roofer but its a big garage 7.5mtrs x 3.4mtrs and NO WAY can the job be done in half a day..I asked him would the Asbestos removal company be coming too? He said that he would be removing the asbestos and he would have the roof off in 1 hour!!!! I asked him if he would he be wearing all the protective clothing etc he said NO THE WIND WILL BLOW THE DUST AWAY..I've since checked the rules and regulations and I've been told NO WAY to allow anyone to remove any asbestos without them following the correct procedures I've just got a pile of information and also written a letter to send to them to say that I'm cancelling the contract. Not only because I was told the charge would be £900 for removal of the asbestos, supposedly by a recognised company, but a couple of other things too. I'm expecting them to threaten me with court action for cancelling but I'm well prepared..
