Asbestos garage roof removal in Honor Oak
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages being knocked down and lean-to roofs.
Garages around Honor Oak are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- Domestic and commercial work
- Accredited laboratory results

Questions from Honor Oak
My garage in Honor Oak 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.
Do older homes in Honor Oak have asbestos?
If your home in Honor Oak was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Honor Oak
If your business premises in Honor Oak were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
