Why people call us in Longford
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.

- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages due for demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
If you let a house with a garage near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Longford
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and brittle, leaking roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Longford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Looking after things afterwards

- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance

Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Options to consider in Longford
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Across London and the South East
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
See how we price jobs and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
For businesses and landlords in Longford
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
