Asbestos garage roof removal in East Peckham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. From sheet garages and single and double garage roofs, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes.
Garages around East Peckham may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Damaged areas
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in East Peckham is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Getting ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

FAQs for East Peckham
Do older homes in East Peckham have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Peckham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in East Peckham generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is my garage roof in East Peckham asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
