Asbestos garage roof removal for Kennington properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Kennington. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and block garages.
In Kennington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Going forward:

What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Kennington by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
These come up again and again:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Garage blocks
Around Harcourt Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
