Asbestos garage roof removal near Green Street
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Green Street
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages being knocked down, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a village like Green Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Green Street
How far is Green Street from London?

Yes, we cover Green Street and the area towards Crowhurst station, about 0.8 miles north-west.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Green Street, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
