Asbestos help in Crooked Billet
Asbestos garage roof removal near Crooked Billet
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages due for demolition and pieces of broken roof, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Crooked Billet, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What else we do in Crooked Billet
Typical garage roof jobs in Crooked Billet
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garages being knocked down
- Single garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Broken sheets after high winds
Near open spaces such as Fishpond Wood and Beverley Meads, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it costs
What changes the cost:

Questions from Crooked Billet
My garage in Crooked Billet has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Crooked Billet with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
