Asbestos garage roof removal near Emerson Park
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garages due a new roof and single and double garage roofs, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In parts of London like Emerson Park, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Emerson Park
Is asbestos common in Emerson Park homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Emerson Park 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.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you cover Emerson Park?
Yes, we do: our area includes Emerson Park and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is

See how we quote or the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Emerson Park by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Emerson Park, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
