How asbestos garage roof removal works in Foxbury
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about lean-to roofs and block garages.
In parts of London like Foxbury, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Foxbury were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block
- Double garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Pieces of broken roof
Older houses in Foxbury, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Foxbury: your questions answered
My garage in Foxbury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in Foxbury with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
