About our asbestos garage roof removal in Camberwell
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Camberwell is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and garages before a new roof or conversion, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Camberwell are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. It helps if we can park nearby. Garage roof removal in Camberwell is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What affects the price in Camberwell
Every quote reflects:
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement
Each job is priced individually. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Camberwell
Could my house in Camberwell contain asbestos?
Any home in Camberwell built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Denmark Hill station?
Yes, we cover Camberwell, including the streets around Denmark Hill station.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
