About our asbestos garage roof removal in Inner Avenue

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and roofs to clear before demolition, including downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces.

In a smaller place like Inner Avenue, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?

Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?

Is my garage roof in Inner Avenue 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.

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.

What it costs

The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:

  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • The size of the job
  • How easy it is to reach
  • The survey scope

Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Responsibilities for owners

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

What it might be made of

Fixings

Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.

Roof felt

Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.

What we deal with in Inner Avenue

Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Lean-tos and carports
  • Garage blocks
  • Single garages
  • Concrete-panel garages

If you let a house with a garage near St Denys station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

What to look for in a quote

  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Suitable insurance for the work
