Forty Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Forty Green homes?
If your home in Forty Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Forty Green from London?
Forty Green is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you cover Forty Green?
Yes, Forty Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
