Questions from Gossops Green
How far is Gossops Green from London?
Gossops Green is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Ifield station?
Yes, we cover Gossops Green, including the streets around Ifield station.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Options to consider in Gossops Green
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
Garages on busy roads like the A23 need loading planned in advance.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Gossops Green by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
