About our asbestos removal in Longstock
If your builder has found suspect material in Longstock, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Whether it’s garage roofs and whole garages and broken sheets in gardens, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes and more.
Rural removal near Longstock can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Duty holders and landlords in Longstock
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Longstock were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Longstock questions
Do you cover Longstock from London?
Longstock is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Longstock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
