Asbestos garage roof removal near Charlton
Asbestos garage roof removal for Charlton properties
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and double garages, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a village like Charlton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Other services in Charlton
Charlton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Charlton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Charlton from London?
Charlton is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
After we have finished in Charlton
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garage conversions
- Single garages
Older houses in Charlton, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- Any exclusions
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- VAT, clearly stated
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Options to consider in Charlton
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
