Asbestos garage roof removal near Abbey Wood
Asbestos garage roof removal for Abbey Wood properties
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Abbey Wood. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about concrete-panel garages and garages due a new roof.
In Abbey Wood, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once we’re done:
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Abbey Wood by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

How we price garage roof removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Location, parking and any London charges

Choosing the right option

- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Across London and the South East
- Waste paperwork for every removal

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Questions from Abbey Wood
Could my house in Abbey Wood contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Abbey Wood station?
Yes, we cover Abbey Wood and the area towards Abbey Wood station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
