Asbestos garage roof removal in Anerley
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are carport roofs and single and double garage roofs.
Garages around Anerley are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Anerley by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access

What we deal with in Anerley
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
Near open spaces such as Dulwich Upper Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Weighing up your options
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. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
FAQs for Anerley
Do you work near Anerley station?
Yes, we cover Anerley, including the streets around Anerley station.
Are garage roofs in Anerley generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
