Questions from Piddinghoe
How far is Piddinghoe from London?
Piddinghoe is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Piddinghoe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
