About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kennington
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages due for demolition.
In Kennington, 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.

For businesses and landlords in Kennington
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Kennington, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. Late-December sunset in Kennington is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Can you work in Kennington with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
