Asbestos garage roof removal near Erith
Asbestos garage roof removal near Erith
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 garage blocks and single and double garage roofs, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Garages around Erith are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Which option is right?

- The documents you’ll receive
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach

- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

FAQs for Erith
My garage in Erith has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work in Erith despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
