Asbestos garage roof removal in East Dulwich
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in East Dulwich
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From garages before a new roof or conversion and single garages, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like East Dulwich, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

East Dulwich questions
Do you cover East Dulwich and the area around East Dulwich station?
Yes, we cover East Dulwich, including the streets around East Dulwich station.
Could my house in East Dulwich contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Dulwich may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
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.
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in East Dulwich is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Dig out previous surveys
- Ensure we can get to the area

Helpful guides
What affects the price in East Dulwich
We base our quote on:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
- Where we could park

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages in a row or block
- Double garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you are a landlord with garages near East Dulwich station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
