What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in New Charlton
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garages due for demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
Properties near Gilbert's Pit may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Common questions in New Charlton
My garage in New Charlton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Charlton station?
Yes. Charlton station is close to the centre of New Charlton, and we cover the whole area.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is my garage roof in New Charlton asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover New Charlton?
We do: New Charlton is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

How we work
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in New Charlton is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
