How asbestos garage roof removal works in Battersea
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about sheet garages and carport roofs.
In Battersea, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Battersea
Is asbestos common in Battersea homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Battersea and the area around Clapham Junction station?
Yes. Clapham Junction station is close to the centre of Battersea, and we cover the whole area.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is my garage roof in Battersea asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What affects the price in Battersea
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Duty holders and landlords in Battersea
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
