Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Common questions in Langstone
Are garage roofs in Langstone generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Langstone have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Langstone may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
