Asbestos garage roof removal in London
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around London. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about garages due for demolition and garages before a new roof or conversion, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Across London, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles and blocks, often before a new roof or a conversion. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

London questions
My garage in London has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in London have asbestos?
If your home in London was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: 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 you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Duty holders and landlords in London
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in London must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in London, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Step by step
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Late-December sunset in London is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Covering London and the South East
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Typical garage roof jobs in London
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
Near open spaces such as Tower Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Comparing quotes
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
