About our asbestos garage roof removal in Elmers End
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
In Elmers End, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What else we do in Elmers End
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Elmers End
Could my house in Elmers End contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Elmers End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
