Alscot questions
Do you come out to small villages like Alscot?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Monks Risborough station?
Yes, we cover Alscot and the area towards Monks Risborough station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is my garage roof in Alscot asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Why people call us in Alscot
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
