About our asbestos garage roof removal in Dulwich
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and garages due a new roof, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters.
In Dulwich, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Dulwich include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-tos and carports
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A2216, tell us about parking and access.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How fibres will be kept down
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.
Common questions in Dulwich
Do you cover Dulwich and the area around West Dulwich station?
Yes, we cover Dulwich and the area towards West Dulwich station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Is asbestos common in Dulwich homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dulwich can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How we price garage roof removal
