Questions from Longwick
Do you work near Monks Risborough station?
Yes, we cover Longwick and the area towards Monks Risborough station, about 1.3 miles east.
Could my house in Longwick contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Longwick?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
