Asbestos removal for Long Crendon
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos removal in Long Crendon
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with textured coatings, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and materials found mid-project.
In a smaller place like Long Crendon, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Long Crendon
Do you work near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. Haddenham & Thame Parkway station is about 2.3 miles east of Long Crendon, and we cover both.
How far is Long Crendon from London?
Long Crendon is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
