About our asbestos garage roof removal in Mottingham
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Mottingham. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and roofs to clear before demolition.
In London neighbourhoods like Mottingham, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
