How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Henley Street by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Mention any parking restrictions

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Henley Street
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and garages being knocked down.
In towns and villages like Henley Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
See how we quote or the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Henley Street questions
How far is Henley Street from London?
We cover Henley Street, about 23 miles from central London.
My garage in Henley Street has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Henley Street?
Yes. We cover Henley Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
- Parking and access charges
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
