Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Long Crendon: your questions answered
My garage in Long Crendon has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Long Crendon homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What affects the price in Long Crendon
Prices vary with:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
