How asbestos garage roof removal works in Grange Mills
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From sheet garages and single and double garage roofs, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In parts of London like Grange Mills, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

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, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Grange Mills
Are garage roofs in Grange Mills normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Grange Mills homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Grange Mills can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
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 take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Step by step

Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Grange Mills
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

- Garages in a row or block
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
