For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in City of London
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Double garages
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A1 and A3, tell us about parking and access.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Materials, one by one
Fixings

Common questions in City of London
My garage in City of London 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 work in City of London with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
