Asbestos garage roof removal near Force Green
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. From lean-to roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters.
In Force Green, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

After we’ve finished in Force Green
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions

Common questions in Force Green
Do you cover Force Green and the area around Oxted station?
Yes. Oxted station is about 3.8 miles south-west of Force Green, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Force Green normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Force Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Typical garage roof jobs in Force Green
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
- Carport roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Properties near Betsom's Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
