Asbestos garage roof removal in Green Park
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From sheet garages and garages due for demolition, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Green Park, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Your options compared
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
How we work in Green Park
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Green Park: your questions answered
Do you cover Green Park from London?
We cover Green Park, about 39 miles from central London.
My garage in Green Park 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.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is my garage roof in Green Park asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
