- Send photos of the whole garage and the access

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Forty Green
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garage conversions
For rented homes with garages close to Princes Risborough station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

Helpful guides
Forty Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Forty Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Forty Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Forty Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Forty Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
