Common questions in Force Green
Can you work in Force Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Oxted station?
Yes, we cover Force Green and the area towards Oxted station, about 3.8 miles south-west.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in Force Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Force Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Force Green, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
Step by step
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
- Photos help us quote
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Your options compared
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
