FAQs for Farthing Green
Do you cover small places like Farthing Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Farthing Green from London?
We cover Farthing Green, about 37 miles from central London.
Is my garage roof in Farthing Green asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Farthing Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
