How it works
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Longworth by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Clear the way to the work area

Longworth: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Longworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Longworth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Longworth
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Longworth include:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single garages
- Garages due for demolition
Near open spaces such as Hitchcopse Pit, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- How fibres will be kept down
- Any exclusions

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After we’ve finished in Longworth
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Going forward:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

We’re upfront about what’s included:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
