Asbestos garage roof removal near Furzedown
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and prefab garages with cement walls, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Furzedown, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What else we do in Furzedown
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Furzedown
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single and double garage roofs
In Furzedown, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

FAQs for Furzedown
Are garage roofs in Furzedown typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Tooting station?
Yes, we cover Furzedown and the area towards Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south-west.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
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.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
