Asbestos garage roof removal near New Malden
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people typically contact us about garages due for demolition and sheet garages.
Garages around New Malden are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in New Malden
Do older homes in New Malden have asbestos?
If your home in New Malden was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near New Malden station?
Yes, we cover New Malden, including the streets around New Malden station.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
