How asbestos garage roof removal works in Monkhams
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages, we cover bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In London neighbourhoods like Monkhams, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. 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 Monkhams
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garage conversions
- Concrete-panel garages
If you let a house with a garage near Highams Park station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
