Asbestos garage roof removal near Croydon
Many garages built before 2000, in Croydon and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and carport roofs, including cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Garages around Croydon are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Identify first, remove only when needed

A closer look at the materials

Your questions about garage roof removal in Croydon
Are garage roofs in Croydon typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Croydon and the area around South Croydon station?
Yes. South Croydon station is close to the centre of Croydon, and we cover the whole area.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Is my garage roof in Croydon asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
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 get in touch and we will advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Croydon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Croydon, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
