Asbestos garage roof removal in Kingston upon Thames
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and single garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In Kingston upon Thames, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Sheet garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages in a row or block
For garages on or near the B3365, let us know where we can load.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Covering London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Duty holders and landlords in Kingston upon Thames
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Kingston upon Thames questions
Do you work in Kingston upon Thames despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
My garage in Kingston upon Thames has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
