The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Longwick by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Longwick: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Longwick contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Longwick can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work in Longwick?
Yes, Longwick is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
