Asbestos garage roof removal for Farthing Street
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Farthing Street
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and old, cracked sheets, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Farthing Street, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Farthing Street: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Farthing Street normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in Farthing Street with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
