Asbestos garage roof removal for Lower Morden properties
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about garage blocks and single and double garage roofs, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In Lower Morden, 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 it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Lower Morden
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Pieces of broken roof
If you let a house with a garage near St Helier station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

What else we do in Lower Morden
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Responsibilities for owners

Your questions about garage roof removal in Lower Morden
My garage in Lower Morden has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Lower Morden contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work in Lower Morden?
We do: our area includes Lower Morden and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Step by step
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. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
