Garage roof removal in Greater London

Across Greater London, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, from the towns to the villages. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Greater London, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.

London: For garages on or near the A2 and A10, let us know where we can load. Across London, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000. Late-December sunset in London is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Limits to be aware of

It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:

Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

Where asbestos turns up

Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

Lean-tos and carports
Single and double garage roofs
Broken sheets after high winds
Garage conversions

Doing it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

What it might be made of

Corrugated sheets

Sheets are wrapped for disposal.

Wall panels

Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Greater London

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

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 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 you take down the walls too?

Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?

It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.

Is garage roof removal licensed work?

Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
