Asbestos garage roof removal for Adelphi properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages being knocked down and block garages, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In Adelphi, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Questions from Adelphi
Do you cover Adelphi and the area around London Charing Cross station?
Yes. London Charing Cross station is close to the centre of Adelphi, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Adelphi have asbestos?
Any home in Adelphi built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
After we have finished in Adelphi
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
