Asbestos garage roof removal in Deptford
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Deptford
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are sheet garages and double garages.
In Deptford, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Domestic and commercial work
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Your questions about garage roof removal in Deptford
My garage in Deptford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in Deptford despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
