Common questions in Martyr's Green
Are garage roofs in Martyr's Green usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Effingham Junction station?
Yes, we cover Martyr's Green and the area towards Effingham Junction station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do you work in Martyr's Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Martyr's Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Martyr's Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and lean-to roofs, involving downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Martyr's Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Typical garage roof jobs in Martyr's Green
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheet garages
- Garage conversions
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-to roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Effingham Junction station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Comparing quotes
- What category of work it is
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How fibres will be kept down
What happens next
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.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Options to consider in Martyr's Green
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
