Asbestos garage roof removal for Forest Hill
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Forest Hill
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Forest Hill tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From carport roofs and double garages, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In parts of London like Forest Hill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Options to consider in Forest Hill
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Are garage roofs in Forest Hill usually asbestos?

Do you need to see it before quoting?

How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
