Asbestos garage roof removal for Leamouth properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and garages being knocked down.
Garages around Leamouth are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What we deal with in Leamouth
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheet garages
- Carport roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single garages
Near open spaces such as Lavender Pond, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Questions from Leamouth
Are garage roofs in Leamouth generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Leamouth with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Duty holders and landlords in Leamouth
If your business premises in Leamouth were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After we have finished in Leamouth
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
