Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Albany Park
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In London neighbourhoods like Albany Park, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Albany Park by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Albany Park questions
Do you cover Albany Park and the area around Sidcup station?
Yes. Sidcup station is about 0.6 miles north of Albany Park, and we cover both.
My garage in Albany Park has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Options to consider in Albany Park
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
