How asbestos garage roof removal works in Greenwich
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In Greenwich, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, 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.

Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Maze Hill station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

FAQs for Greenwich
Do you work in Greenwich despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are garage roofs in Greenwich usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
