About our asbestos garage roof removal in Forestdale
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and single garages, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In Forestdale, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- Damaged areas
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
After we have finished in Forestdale
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Carport roofs
Near open spaces such as Hutchinson's Bank, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Helpful guides
Forestdale questions
Do you work in Forestdale despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Forestdale homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
