How asbestos garage roof removal works in Kitts End
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and prefab garages with cement walls.
In Kitts End, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The survey scope
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
See how we quote and the cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Common questions in Kitts End
Do you cover Kitts End and the area around Hadley Wood station?
Yes. Hadley Wood station is about 1.1 miles east of Kitts End, and we cover both.
My garage in Kitts End 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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Kitts End by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
