Asbestos garage roof removal in Blackheath
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Blackheath
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Blackheath. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garages being knocked down and old, cracked sheets.
In Blackheath, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We only recommend work that’s needed.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
What happens
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Garage roof removal in Blackheath is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Common questions in Blackheath
Do you work in Blackheath despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
My garage in Blackheath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my garage roof in Blackheath asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
