For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Longford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Longford: your questions answered
Could my house in Longford contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Longford may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Longford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Typical removal jobs in Longford
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roof sheets
- Loft water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In a school like Pippins School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
